safeguarding
At All Saints Peckham we love God, love each other, and we love our community.
Therefore, our aim is to create a safe environment for everybody.
A priority is to protect the vulnerable. We all need to be aware of this and follow the procedures that underpin our safeguarding policies as a church.
These groups include children, young people and vulnerable adults.
