- With safeguarding in the public eye again this week, may I remind you how seriously we take safeguarding in this benefice. We follow all the requirements of the House of Bishops’ policy and the church legislative requirements. We practice safe recruiting and we have a benefice safeguarding officer. We have participated in the diocese’s safeguarding training and follow the requirement for this to be refreshed every three years. There is signposting on the parish website and noticeboards about who to contact in case there are any issues anyone wishes to raise. The diocese’s and our approach to handling any situation that does arise is best described as ‘survivor led.’
MORNING PRAYER:
Barkway – Tuesdays at 9am.
Barley – Wednesdays at 9am.
Reed – Thursdays at 9am.
Our churches are always open during the day and you are welcome to drop in for personal prayer at any time.
