Safeguarding at St Wilfrid'sAt St Wilfrid’s the PCC, Wardens and Clergy are
committed to doing all we can to ensure that the church and its various events
comply with safeguarding best practice. This goes further than requiring up-to-date DBS checks on all persons in positions of authority or who have contact with children
and vulnerable adults. We are seeking to develop and maintain a
culture that is aware of the issues at stake, where people have the relevant training to be
part of the solution rather than the problem, and where they know whom to
contact and where to look to find helpful information. We subscribe to the safeguarding policy of the Diocese of Chichester. (Click HERE to access the policy and other useful documents.)
