The House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policy has been adopted by Christ Church Horam and is implemented in all our work with children and vulnerable adults by the Parochial Church Council.

Jackie Buckingham is our Parish Safeguarding Officer and ensures that people are familiar with and adhere to the policy. If you wish to volunteer for a ministry at Christ Church, need a DBS check or report a safeguarding concern or allegation, then contact her on 01435 813947 or email [email protected]
See our Safeguarding Statement here.
