Safeguarding
At St Margaret’s, we want everyone to feel comfortable and safe, from our youngest to
our oldest parishioners and visitors.
We follow the Diocese of Chichester’s Policies for Children and Young People, and Vulnerable Adults. A short summary of our Safeguarding Policy is displayed in the church porch. The full policy can be read here.
Our Safeguarding Officer is Kerwin Hack: his email address is safeguarding@stmargaret.org.uk
Please do feel free to contact him with any questions or concerns, and, certainly, if you have concerns about your own or someone else’s safety. You can also speak to the Vicar, Fr Anthony Moore.Other contacts you may find useful are:
