William Temple Church welcomes all members of the community and we are committed to ensuring it is a safe place for everyone.

​

We have adopted the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy (see the Parish Safeguarding Handbook) for children, young people & adults and commit to:

​

• Promoting a safer environment and culture.

• Safely recruiting and supporting all those with any responsibility related to children and vulnerable adults.

• Responding promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation.

• Caring pastorally for victims/survivors of abuse or other affected persons.

• Caring pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns/allegations of abuse and other affected persons.

• Responding to those that may pose a present risk.
