Safeguarding

St John's Church Council takes its duty of care for children, young people and vulnerable adults attending worship or other activities at church seriously. 

St John’s is subject to the Derby Diocese Safeguarding Children and Young People policies and procedures, and works closely with the diocese to ensure good practice. Safeguarding advice and resources can be found on the Derby Diocese website.

Enhanced Disclosure and Barring  Service checks are completed on all those working with our children, young people and in the wider ministries associated with vulnerable adults. There is a regular programme of on-going Safeguarding training provided by the safeguarding team at the Diocese, for those involved in these activities. If you have any concerns about the safety of children at St Johns then email in confidence to safeguardingchildren@stjohnswalton.co.uk
