Everyone in the church community wants to ensure that there is a welcome for all people and we have a responsibility for their safety, well-being and protection.
Safeguarding is about preventing harm, abuse or neglect to children and vulnerable adults wherever possible.
All the individual PCCs in our Benefice have agreed to adopt a safeguarding policy that aligns with that in the Church of England document 'Promoting a Safer Church'
By clicking on the links below you can read and download that document, a list of important contact details for the Harton Benefice and a useful quick guide.
Please see the Safeguarding Contact Details for up to date contacts.

What to do if I have a concern
A paper copy - including some additional sections - is kept in each of our churches
Remember - if it looks, sounds or feels wrong, then a concern should be raised.
