On Sunday 15 November, we mark Safeguarding Sunday, an opportunity to reflect on our shared responsibility to make our parish a place where everyone feels safe, welcomed, valued and respected.
This year's theme, Love Protects, reminds us that safeguarding is more than policies and procedures. It is about caring for one another, listening, noticing when someone needs help, and putting our faith into action.
We invite parishioners to read the open letter from the Diocese of Plymouth's Head of Safeguarding, reflecting on the importance of creating safe and compassionate Church communities.
