Safeguarding Sunday
It's about how spaces can be created that are safer for everyone, and also to thank those working behind the scenes to make our churches safer for all.
|
Safeguarding Sunday is about every person in the church knowing why we do what we do and knowing what part they can contribute to that.

Did you know that there are online training courses open to everyone? Use the link above and go to 'safeguarding training'. Different levels of training are obligatory for church officers and leaders, but everyone is encouraged to follow the basic training and find out how to make sure we are acting - and reacting - to make this a safe space.

Smartphone appeal
From 1 December, different people will be answering the church telephone line; maybe a churchwarden or church officer, maybe a locum minister. So we need a "Duty Phone" that can be passed from person to person as required.
|
Do you have a serviceable smartphone that you no longer need and which you could donate?
|
|
|
|
We will of course buy one but before we do that, we thought it was worth asking around! If you can help, just reply to this newsletter. Many thanks.
