Most of the time at church we are like a
big happy family. However even in very happy families people can have a
bad day and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want to help
everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that
people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that
is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to
frighten you, confuse you or worry you. It is important that you tell us
if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about
something that’s happening or something somebody is doing. We have
specially trained people who you can talk to and
who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding. This
means they look after everyone’s safety. Caring for people is a very
important part of our Christian life.
The people who can help you are the parish priest or the parish safeguarding officer. You can contact the safeguarding officer, Janet Goldsworthy, on 01526 323142 or the parish priest, Lorna Brabin-Smith, on 01522 794868 or at lorna.brabinsmith@btinternet.com. If
you wish to speak to someone outside the church you can contact the
diocesan safeguarding team – phone 01522 504070 or email safeguarding@lincoln.anglican.org. You can also visit https://www.lincoln.anglican.org/parish-support/safeguarding/ for more information.
