Safeguarding

The Parish takes the safety and well-being of children and young people, together with all those who are vulnerable, very seriously indeed. We have a robust Safeguarding Policy and Guidelines for working with children and young people. The Parish Safeguarding Policy can be found here or you can find them on the notice boards of each of the churches.

Tidenham Parish Church is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory DBS Check where applicable.
