SAFEGUARDING
Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone within Paignton Parish Churches and we want to be known as a safe Parish that is vigilant and acts when spotting potential or actual safeguarding situations.
Our message is clear, the churches in the Parish of Paignton are safe places for all.
If you have any concerns about the safety of someone or the actions of someone working with children or vulnerable adults, please speak to someone.
