Keeping Everyone Safe

We want to make sure that everyone, whatever their age, is safe at B&A. We are especially mindful about the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults. Our policy is to ensure those in a leadership role working with children, young people or vulnerable adults have an up to date Enhanced DBS check and appropriate training for their roles.

Our Safeguarding Policy documents can be viewed via the links below.

We are part of the Church of England and further information about safeguarding can be found at the Diocese of Bristol website.
