St Mary’s Church takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk, very seriously and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.

All the St Mary’s Church workers, volunteers and the wider church family play an important role in helping others to live free from abuse and neglect.
