Safeguarding & Inclusion

Protection of all children, young people and those who are vulnerable is of paramount importance to us. We have adopted the Diocese of Guildford Safeguarding Policy.

Rachel Hill and Elodie Curran are our appointed Parish Safeguarding Officers, whose role is to ensure that everyone who works the Church in any capacity has undergone the necessary checks and training beforehand and, working with the PCC ensures our policy is implemented. Specifically, everyone who works with under 18’s and those who are vulnerable is taken through a recruitment process and is checked for Enhanced DBS clearance. For more information about our policy and the guidelines and training we give our volunteers and workers please contact us.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS AT ALL ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ANYONE,
Please contact our parish safeguarding officers Rachel Hill and Elodie Curran and both can be contacted on besafe@stjohnstoke.com

Our Safeguarding policy statement
