Safeguarding

Have you or someone you know experienced abuse by a member of our congregation?

If so, this is our commitment to you.

SPEAKING OUT.

For someone who has been abused in childhood the prospect of speaking out is often a significant step towards healing and recovery. You are not to blame for what happened to you and should not feel ashamed. We want to offer you the opportunity to be listened to, to have your concerns taken seriously, dealt with sensitively and acted upon as necessary.
