Safeguarding
Safeguarding is a priority at St. Anne’s and is fully aligned to the Diocesan “A Safe Church”. Our focus is to ensure St Anne’s is a safe and welcoming place for all – children, young people and adults. Our practices are always under review, and we have built structures that demand rigorous governance of all aspects of the church.
We seek to be a thoughtful and considered organisation. Our leadership is approachable, open and respectful. We are always striving to evolve our church practices to best serve the parish and
its communities. We are inclusive and open minded. We are respectful of a changing world and how a church needs to respond to support that. As a church community we work to be responsive to those who have a need. All staff, PCC members and volunteers engage in the relevant safeguarding training and are fully DBS checked. Our Safeguarding Policy is available for reference.
Kristen Anderson is our Safeguarding Officer and Nancy Pethick supports Kristen with all DBS requirements. Please visit the Southwark Diocese site to learn more about Safe Church.
