Safeguarding

Warfield Church is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of children and people of all ages in our church community.  The Parish Safeguarding Policy (Sept 23) can be seen here.

You can also find the Church of England policy statement - Promoting a Safer Church - here.

Warfield Church also believes all forms of domestic abuse are wrong and must stop.  The Domestic Abuse policy can be seen here.
