SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding at Gurnard Church

All Saints’ Church, Gurnard takes safeguarding very seriously. We actively promote and pursue Portsmouth Diocese’s Safer Recruitment Policy, whereby everyone who wishes to work for the church with children, young people or vulnerable adults who may be at risk of harm to first undergo a DBS (Disclosure and Barring System) check before they can take up their positions. They are also required to attend regular training.

Our policy statement is updated annually and can be seen displayed in the porch of the church.


Safeguarding Officer

Jo Sturmey is our Safeguarding Officer and she, along with Rev Amanda Collinson, are the first people to speak to if you have any concerns around the welfare of a child, young person or vulnerable adult.

Anyone with safeguarding concerns can contact Jo via email (josturmey@hotmail.co.uk) or Amanda via email (amandacollinson01@gmail.com) or the details below
