Latimer Church is committed to all aspects of Safeguarding within our church, including the physical, emotional, and spiritual welfare and safety of all people, especially those who are vulnerable (Children, young people and vulnerable adults). We expect all our staff, volunteers and those who use our premises to share this commitment and value the support of the Latimer community in achieving this.
Together, we are responsible for making Latimer a safe and welcoming place. We welcome your input face-to-face at events and Church services, via our tear-off slips on our service sheets and on feedback forms. You are also welcome to contact the staff and volunteers responsible for safeguarding at Latimer.
