Safeguarding in Acton Parish

Acton Parish is fully committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment for all, especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We believe that every person has a right to be respected, valued, and protected from harm. Our parish follows the safeguarding policies and procedures set out by the Diocese to ensure that all our activities are conducted with care, transparency, and accountability. 

This commitment means we take proactive steps to prevent abuse and neglect within our community. This includes the rigorous implementation of our Safer Recruitment Policy for all staff and volunteers, which involves thorough background checks and appropriate training. Furthermore, we strive to foster an open and supportive culture where everyone feels safe to speak up about concerns, knowing they will be taken seriously and handled with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality. Safeguarding is the responsibility of every individual within Acton Parish, and we are dedicated to continuously reviewing and improving our practices to keep our community a secure and nurturing place.
