Our Parish of All Saints Beckley and St Peter and St Paul Peasmarsh are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm.

 

We strive to ensure that our churches are places where everyone within our community feels safe from abuse regardless of gender, ethnicity or ability.

 

We will respond promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation.

 

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies.

 

The Diocesan safeguarding team oversees this area of responsibility for all Anglican churches in this diocese.
