Safeguarding Policy

The PCC of St John the Baptist Church Stone and Ss Peter and Paul Church Dinton takes the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults very seriously.

There is a safeguarding co-ordinator who works with the leadership team overseeing all activities, procedures and policies, as well as ensuring there is training support for all who work as volunteers in our various groups.

The parish of Stone, Dinton and Hartwell is part of the Wychert Vale Benefice.

Wychert Vale Benefice safeguarding information for the Wychert Vale Benefice can be found Here.
