Safeguarding 

Promoting a safer church 2023

At St Michael’s we believe the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in our activities is the responsibility of our whole Church.  It is important, therefore, that everyone who participates in the life of our Church must play their part in promoting a safer Church for all.  To see how we do this, please see our Safeguarding Policy and Action Plan.

In order to ensure the implementation of the Policy, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) has appointed Dotun Akinde as its Parish Safeguarding Officer.  Dotun should be contacted on 07921 860862 or safeguarding@saintmichaelweb.org.uk in respect of any issues relating to the Church's safeguarding of children, young people or vulnerable adults.

The PCC has also appointed Michelle Durnell as the PCC Children's Advocate.  Children and their families are invited to share informally with Michelle any joys, thoughts, concerns or delights about the Church's work with young people.   Please contact Michelle on 07779 245851.
