Safeguarding Policy

The safeguarding of all people, but especially children and vulnerable adults, is of utmost importance to us. 

For this reason, all staff and volunteers who work directly with children and/or vulnerable adults are recruited and undergo regular training in line with national guidelines.

St. James' Church has adopted and adheres to the Church of England's guidelines on the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults contained in the document "Promoting a Safer Church"
