Child Protection


Parents and carers, the safety of your child/children is very important to us .

APC is registered with the Church Child Protection Advisory Service who are our ‘umbrella’ group and who supervise our Criminal Record Bureau checks. We are also advised by the Diocese Of Lichfield.

The Safe from Harm and Child Protection Policy and Procedures are available for anyone to see and are
kept in the church office.

The Child Protection Coordinator is Lynne Trew and she can be contacted on 01922 452010.

She will happily discuss with you our policies and procedures for ensuring the safety of our young people and children.
Any concerns regarding the welfare and safety of any child or young person whilst in the churches care must be reported as soon as possible to Lynne who is nominated by the church council to act on its behalf.

Under no circumstances should a church worker or volunteer or member of the public carry out their own investigations into the
allegation or suspicion of abuse.

In the absence of the coordinator or if the coordinator is implicated then the contact person is Rev Richard Cornfield. (see number below) Advice can be given by any of the other numbers.

Training sessions are held regularly to ensure all workers with our children and young people are familiar with the procedures and understand the importance of working to best practice at all times.
