Safeguarding

Safeguarding is taken very seriously at St Mark's.  All our volunteers have been safely recruited and the PCC has adopted the House of Bishops' document, "Promoting a Safer Church", as our Safeguarding Policy Document.  A link for this is below.  

If you have any Safeguarding concerns you can find details of how to report these in the document "Responding to a Safeguarding Concern or Allegation", which is also below. 

Safeguarding concerns should be reported to one of the following;

          Parish Safeguarding Officer:     Sarah Pick  -  safeguarding@stmarksbilton.org.uk

          Rector:     Rev'd Daniel Bennett  -  rector@stmarksbilton.org.uk  -  07597 027825
