What you need to know about Safeguarding.

Safeguarding works best when it is a shared responsibility. The Parish of Great Aycliffe, it’s parishioners and elected PCC members are committed to ensure this is done effectively. We are committed to an ongoing and updated training programme and DBS checking.

The Church of England has owned and repented of poor practise and lives damaged in the past (please see Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, October 2022 Report ) and is working to secure a future characterised by safeguarding excellence.
