Our activities must be safe for everyone, with effective safeguarding policies and practices in place. We take safeguarding seriously and always seek to review our systems to ensure we appropriately monitor issues if they arise.
Who can I turn to?
If you have questions regarding safeguarding, or need to raise a concern or make a disclosure regarding abuse from anyone at Discovering Prayer, please contact Kate Jefferyes, the trustee responsible for safeguarding.
Trustee responsible for safeguarding
Our trustee responsible for safeguarding is Kate Jefferyes. Her role is to oversee the implementation of the Diocesan and Discovering Prayer's safeguarding policies in collaboration with our board of trustees. You can email Kate direct.
