Safeguarding
Keeping everyone safe
We want B&A to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We take particular care when it comes to children, young people and vulnerable adults, and anyone serving in a relevant leadership role is appropriately recruited, trained and DBS checked.
-
Our safeguarding policy sets out how we keep people safe, support those who may be vulnerable, and respond to any concerns.

We’re part of the Church of England and the Diocese of Bristol, connected with churches across the region as we worship, serve our communities and share the good news of Jesus together. Being part of that wider church family also means we follow established safeguarding policies, training and accountability to help keep people safe.

If you have any concerns or questions about keeping people safe, or would like to report a concern, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer Ruth Moppett by email.
If you would like to contact our staff safeguarding lead Wendy Massey by email.
