Safeguarding

We take the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously at Christ the Lord Church.

​​

Finding Help

If you are a child and you need to talk to someone about things that are happening to you that you don’t like, please click on this link which takes you the Childline website, or telephone Childline on 0800 1111

​

If you are an adult and you need to access support about something that is happening to you, please click on this link to find out how you can do that. It will take you to the Diocese of Chichester safeguarding web page; scroll down the page to find links to various support organisations for you to contact.

​

Reporting a concern

If you need to report a safeguarding concern to the statutory authorities in Sussex, please click on this link, click on the option on the left that most describes the situation you are concerned about, and follow the advice and further links you find there.

 

Please remember to contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team as well once you have contacted the statutory authorities.

Our People and Policies

We operate our activities in line with the Diocese of Chichester Safeguarding Guidelines. The Diocese of Chichester covers the Sussex area and comes under the Bishop of Chichester. It includes all of the church of England churches within that area (it's a bit like a county for churches). If you need to contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team, for example for advice about how to deal with a safeguarding situation, please click on this link.
 

If you have any questions about Safeguarding at Christ the Lord Church or are concerned for a child or vulnerable adult, please contact our Safeguarding officer:
