Safeguarding

The Church in Wales is committed to fostering an environment where everyone is able to worship and participate in the life of the church in safety.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility

All who work for the church, including clergy, employees, and volunteers, are regarded by the Church in Wales as persons working in positions of trust within the Church and as such are expected to adhere to the safeguarding policy and associated procedures and practice guidance.
