Our PCC members all undertake DBS checks and undergo regular training in safeguarding, including awareness of domestic abuse and awareness of Modern Slavery. Our churches have also committed to the Clewer Initiative, part of the Church of England which works to combat Modern Slavery around the world, but particularly in the UK.
