Sunday (17 November) - is National Safeguarding Sunday in the Church of England. This is a specific day as we come together to pray for all victims and survivors of abuse. It is also a day to offer our prayers for those who work in safeguarding nationally, regionally, or locally. We want to ensure that we all work together enabling a safe church community and culture for everyone. Please do reflect on this in your prayers on this Safeguarding Sunday. If you feel you wish to speak or chat about safeguarding in our church/parish, Sharon Waight and June Hornby are available at any time. More information about what St. Paul’s is doing to keep people safe and enabling a safety culture, alongside our contact details, can be read on the safeguarding noticeboard.

Safe Spaces - is a national organisation and can be contacted with any safeguarding issue or question: 0300 303 1056 or safespacesenglandandwales.org.uk
