Safeguarding

North Hampshire Downs Benefice (our Network of Churches) takes the protection of children and young people and vulnerable adults very seriously.

Sue Murphy is our designated Safeguarding Officer and her picture is displayed in church as someone to whom children and adults can talk to about any concerns they may have with regard to feeling safe and protected.
