Safeguarding
The parish of Thrybergh St Leonard is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs.
All clergy and Readers within the Church of England receive safeguarding training and require record-check clearance certificates as a normal part of their ministry. Our lay volunteers who work with young people and vulnerable adults also go through the safeguarding process. This ensures that our congregation is a safe place for young and vulnerable people to visit.
