Child Protection

St Edmund's Church follows the Child Protection guidance of the Diocese of Rochester. All staff and volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults are CRB checked, and are required to undergo regular training in child protection issues.

St Edmund's Church has a designated Allison Blyghton as our Child Protection Officer. Her role is to deal with any child protection issues, ensure that CRB applications are processed, that training opportunities are accessed by staff and volunteers, and to work with the Parochial Church Council and the Diocese of Rochester on child protection issues.

Allison should be the first point of contact for people who have concerns or questions about child protection. Allison can be contacted at St Edmund's Church.

Children and young people needing confidential support and help - contact Childline.
