Our Safeguarding Officer is the first person to speak to if you have any concerns around the welfare of a child or vulnerable adult.  All licensed ministers, church officers and team members have completed the required safeguarding training.


Christian communities should be places where all people feel welcomed, respected and safe from harm.  To help ensure this, St Michael's adheres to our Parish Policy and the safeguarding policies and procedures of the Diocese of Blackburn and the Church of England, all of which are included below.
