Safeguarding

Our Diocese has a Safeguarding policy which we have adopted. It can be accessed here: Diocese of Southwark Safeguarding.

The Parishes of St Swithun and St Mark take the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously. Both of our churches abide by the Southwark Diocese Safeguarding policy.

Our PCC members all undertake DBS checks and undergo regular training in safeguarding, including awareness of domestic abuse and awareness of modern slavery. Our churches have also committed to the Clewer Initiative, part of the Church of England, which works to combat modern slavery around the world, but particularly in the UK.

If you have ANY church related concerns please do not hesitate to contact Rev'd Fiona or our Safeguarding Officer. If you believe that someone is at immediate risk, please do not hesitate - call 999 at once.
