Safeguarding
Sheffield Cathedral Chapter and all who serve here seek to promote the wholeness of every person within God’s loving purpose for us all. We want to make this a safe place for every member of the church community, whatever their age. We understand that it is the responsibility of each one of us to protect children, young people and adults from physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and from neglect. Together we can build a community where everyone can flourish.
The Cathedral has as far as possible adopted the policies and procedures of the House of Bishops and the Diocese of Sheffield. We have adapted these policies to our own structure of governance and routines, to ensure that they take our particular circumstances into account.
