Safeguarding

Holy Trinity is committed to the safeguarding everyone in our community. Safeguarding is something we take very seriously and is part of our Christian witness, not an optional extra.

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies.

Our Safeguarding Policy can be found HERE.

You can also read the Safeguarding Policy for the Diocese of London HERE.

Reporting a Safeguarding Concern | Contacts in church

Holy Trinity is in the process of recruiting a new safeguarding officer for the parish. Until this process is complete, should you have any concerns about the welfare or safety of someone in our church then you can always speak to Fr Michael by emailing rector@sloanechurch.org or leaving a message with the parish office on 0207 730 7270

If you would prefer to speak to someone outside of the church then please see below.
