SAFEGUARDING SUNDAY
Today Safeguarding Officer Lucky will present this year’s theme: Action Speaks Louder
Encouraging us to commit to taking action towards creating safer places.
There is a poster in church, and an action pledge card is available to make a personal pledge.
Perhaps we can complete safeguarding training, or become more informed. Perhaps we can commit to praying once a week for the safeguarding team, or speak up about something we are not sure is right.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
