Safeguarding at Ss Philip & James Church

 

Ss Philip & James is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to worship and grow in Christ safely. This is done in a coordinated and supported manner and involves the Church Safeguarding Officer -  Mrs Angela Bowman making timely responses to concerns (advice sought/action within 24 hours), informing the Diocesan Safeguarding Team (DST) of these and drawing support from the CCPAS helplines, local authorities and the police when necessary. Our policies contained within 'Safeguarding in the Diocese of London' (revised 2015) give further guidance.
