Safeguarding
Safeguarding at St Mary Magdalen
The staff and PCC attach the highest priority to keeping our congregation and everyone who uses our facilities safe from harm.
To achieve this we have adopted a safeguarding policy and guidelines for those in contact with children or vulnerable adults both of which can be viewed below. These documents are reviewed annually.
If you have any concerns about the safety or wellbeing of any child or adult you should contact one of the people listed here, who will be able to give advice on next steps.
However, if you believe a vulnerable person is in immediate danger of significant or serious harm you should contact the police by dialling 999.
