Safeguarding
At St John’s Hurst Green, we are committed to creating a safe environment, taking particular care for the safeguarding of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
We are guided by the principles set out in the Church of England’s ‘A Safer Church’ and we follow the Diocese of Southwark’s procedures and policies in how we deliver all our ministries and how we recruit and train volunteers.
