Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a priority here at Whitefriars Church.  We are committed to following government and Church of England guidelines on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults; and good working practice, including safer recruitment of volunteers and paid workers.

We work to a formal Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed here
