At a recent meeting of Diocesan Clergy, Bishop Stephen asked that at all parish meetings, functions and events the issue of safeguarding be addressed as a high priority. Safeguarding needs to be considered in its widest context to include health, safety and well-being. It is the responsibility of us all to ensure that our parishes and institutions are safe places for all comers and that the risk of avoidable harm is reduced as much as possible. We need to create safe spaces of true welcome in which relationships can develop which are enriching and respectful. Where agendas or dynamic risk assessments for events are produced, ‘safeguarding’ needs to feature prominently. Further advice and information can be provided by Dennis Bradley or Kathleen Murray, and the Diocesan Safeguarding Team are always happy to give guidance.
