Our churches and church-related activities must be safe for all, with safeguarding policies and practices that promote a safer church. The following policy, agreed by our Leadership Team, sets out our church's commitment to promoting a safer church in accordance with the Church of England Safeguarding policy.
Contact our Safeguarding Officer
If you have concerns about safeguarding issues, then please speak with our Safeguarding Officer, Loun Ling Lee, or email her on safeguarding@gwpchurch.org.uk
If you prefer to get in touch with someone outside of GWP Church, you can contact Richard Woodley, Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, on richard.woodley@oxford.anglican.org or telephone 07391 868478.
If you have lived experience of abuse from within the Church of England, you may prefer to call the dedicated telephone NSPCC helpline, which is independent of the Church. Call 0800 80 20 20.
The NSPCC helpline is also available to anyone wishing to provide information or to raise concerns regarding abuse within the Church of England. The helpline is there for you whether you are reporting issues relating to children or adults or seeking to whistleblow about poor safeguarding practice. Your call is confidential, and your concerns will be taken seriously.
There are several ways you can get involved, whether it be serving, donating or joining one of our weekly life groups, we can point you in the right direction.
