Safeguarding our Children
and Vulnerable Adults

The Benefice takes its safeguarding seriously.  The Benefice, like Diocese of Portsmouth follows the national legal and procedural framework for safeguarding children and adults who may be at risk of harm, together with the national Church of England policy Protecting All God’s Children 2010 and for adults, Promoting a Safe Church 2006.
The Benefice’s Parish Policies and Procedures follow those set down by the Diocese of Portsmouth.
