The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.
Safeguarding is an integral part of the mission and ministry of the church in this diocese and is in line with our Growing in God strategy. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
The Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich will not shortlist any candidate for posts if they cannot provide an assurance of a valid DBS and up to date safeguarding training (Safeguarding : Leadership and Safeguarding : Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse).

Dear Lord,
call to our churches a true Shepherd,

and make us, with him or her,
a church joyful in worship and united in witness, working, caring, praising, loving,
to the glory of your Name,
through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
