A Safe Church
We take the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously at St John’s. As a church community, we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all.
St John’s has adopted the Diocese of Southwark Diocesan policies, procedures and guidelines for safeguarding children, adults who may be vulnerable, and responding to domestic abuse. These are published in the form of a manual, a copy of which is at the back of church and is also available here: https://southwark.anglican.org/safeguarding/diocesan-policies-and-procedures
