We believe that every human being is made in the image of God. It follows that we should honour everyone regardless of their age, capabilities, gender or ethnicity.
Our churches must be a safe haven.
Our safeguarding policy and the guidance we follow can be viewed at Policy and practice guidance | The Church of England
