Most of the time at Church, we are big happy family.However even in a very happy family, people can have a bad day, and even people we know and trust can upset us.We want to help people to have good days all of the time.We try to make sure that people who have jobs within the church,always behave well, and in a way that is helpfull to you.
We never want anything within the Church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you.It is therefore important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you feel worried about something that is happening or something that someone is doing.
We have specially trained people who you can talk to in total confidence, and who you can turn to for help.These people are good at Safeguarding.This means they look after everyones safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.
At St.Lukes we have our very own Safeguarding Officer.
If you wish to raise any safegaurding matters please contact our Safegaurding Officer Joan Townsend.
