At All Saints’ Church we do our utmost to ensure that everyone on site is kept safe. Any paid staff and volunteers working with children and vulnerable adults must undergo a safer recruitment process and an enhanced DBS disclosure.

ALL SAINTS’ SAFEGUARDING POLICY

As a church we have adopted the Church of England’s safeguarding policy ‘Promoting a Safer Church’.

The Parish Church of All Saints’ Emscote is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.   We aim to ensure that everyone who visits the church, for whatever reason, feels welcome, valued and safe.
