Benefice Safeguarding
Parish Churches of Barnack
with Ufford, Bainton, Helpston & Wittering: Safeguarding
“Being faithful to our call to share the gospel therefore compels us to take with the utmost seriousness the challenge of preventing abuse from happening and responding well where it has“.
The 4 churches in this group take their safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and expect correct procedures to be followed at all times. We have adopted in full all the relevant policies issued by Peterborough Diocese. These apply to every area of activity of the Churches and its members. We expect anyone involved with either children or vulnerable adults to be familiar with these principles.
The safeguarding policy has been recently revised, and has been adopted by all the Parochial Church Council meetings.
