It's Not Just Policy, It's Personal

It's Not Just Policy, It's Personal' is a Church of England campaign to raise awareness of how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns. 

At the centre of every safeguarding concern is a person who has taken the difficult step of disclosing harm or risk. Creating a safe space for people to report, and how we respond to them, matters.

At St Mary’s we take this seriously: take a look at the posters in church or below for information about what to do if you witness something or you are told about someone who has been harmed in some way.

What does a safeguarding risk look like?

There are some simple online training modules available via the website that you can access yourself.   See www.stmaryssaffronwalden.org/safeguarding

Rev'd Dr Hilary Walker - Associate Priest 
Vivian Falk - Churchwarden
Nathan Colley - Parish Safeguarding Officer
