Safeguarding at Christ Church

The Church of England is committed to the protection of children and those adults who may be at risk. It provides protocols and guidelines for good practice so that people may have confidence in the Church, its ministers and its activities.

Information about Safeguarding in the Diocese of Manchester can be found here.
