Safeguarding

In the Evenlode Vale Benefice we will do all we can to ensure that our benefice and parish churches offer the safest places for children and vulnerable people. Our office is based in Holy Ascension Oddington.

Each parish church in our benefice has adopted and implemented The House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy ‘Promoting a Safer Church’. You can read the full policy using this link: www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2019-05/PromotingSaferChurchWeb.pdf

Each parish has their own safeguarding officer who can be contacted, if you have any concern.
