Safeguarding

Promoting a Safer Church 

St. Martins is committed to Safeguarding and has adopted the National and Diocesan Safeguarding Policies.

Our Safeguarding Officer is Mrs Val Thompson

A copy of our policy is pinned on the notice board inside the car park entrance to Church.

St Martins is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm.
We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Lichfield’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO Valerie Thompson (tel 01691 658756) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Team (go to lichfield.anglican.org/safeguarding for telephone numbers and email addresses). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
