St Mary’s Wendens Ambo: Safeguarding contacts and policy

The Cam Villages Churches are committed, as part of the Christian Church living in the spirit of the Gospel, to protect and care for everyone and we aim to be a beacon of best practice in safeguarding. Looking the other way is not an option. We do this by:

  • Ensuring that its volunteers, clergy, advisers and lay people achieve the standards laid down in the Safeguarding Policies of the Church of England, which the PCC has adopted, and this can be viewed here: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/safeguarding

  • Working with individuals who have criminal convictions, or where other safeguarding risks are identified, to ensure that they, and all members of the church community are safeguarded.

  • Holding to account all persons responsible for the safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults in the Diocese.


All our churches have their own safeguarding policies and Parish Safeguarding Representatives (PSRs)

The Wendens Ambo Safeguarding Representative is

Chris Forster – 07867796198 – [email protected]

He is responsible for ensuring compliance with the safeguarding policies of the Church of England and adopted by the Wendens Ambo PCC.

 

In case of any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Chris or Rev Alex Jeewan ([email protected], telephone 531153)
