Safeguarding is an important part of this of creating a safe space, along with safer recruiting, health and safety and other key areas of governance. Here in Marchwood and Eling Parish we believe all those exploring faith with us should be and feel safe.
It is all of our responsibility to ensure the safety of others, but the PCC and Leadership of this Parish have a governance role to ensure compliance with Safeguarding legislation. We aim to always demonstrate good practice in this area.
