A safer church

At Christ Church we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults and follow the House of Bishops’ guidance, policies and good practice guidelines.

If you have any concerns or enquiries regarding safeguarding, please contact our Safeguarding Officer (details below).

The Diocese of Manchester’s safeguarding pages also contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding team.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the Parish or Diocesan safeguarding team immediately.
