Safeguarding

Safeguarding in Our Parish

At St. Wulstan’s Catholic Church, Wolstanton and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Chesterton, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and caring environment for everyone—especially children, young people, and vulnerable adults.

We adhere fully to statutory safeguarding guidance, as well as the National and Archdiocesan Safeguarding Policies and Procedures. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our parish remains a place of safety and welcome.
