Safeguarding and Child Protection

The Children and Young People team take the safeguarding of children and young people very seriously.
All adults and young people who are responsible for working with children and young people should be familiar with the Diocesan Safeguarding policies and guidance documents. These documents are available on the Diocesan website safeguarding pages.

We strongly recommend that all those who work with children and young people on behalf of their parish should attend the Diocesan safeguarding training C0 – C3, depending on your position within your Parish.  For details of forthcoming Diocesan safeguarding training opportunities, visit the Safeguarding pages..

The Diocesan Youth and Children Lead Adviser can also offer training to parishes with a specific focus on the practical implications of the Diocesan safeguarding policy and procedures for those who work with children and young people. In the first instance, please email Sarah Cabella Sarah.Cabella@rochester.anglican.org
