The Stourdene Benefice is committed to ensuring the safeguarding of vulnerable children and adults both within its six churches and through its outreach within each parish.

​

As well as a Safeguarding Officer who oversees the administration of the Disclosure & Barring System, safer recruitment and safeguarding training, the 6 parishes of the Benefice have their own dedicated Safeguarding Officer.

​

Each church has adopted and displays the Church of England’s National Safeguarding Policy (Promoting a Safer Church) and displays the information for reporting safeguarding concerns or allegations.  Contact Mrs Jane Evans, Benefice Safeguarding Officer if you wish to discuss safeguarding within the Stourdene Benefice.
