Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.
Our Safeguarding Policies

The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham works to ensure the safety of children, young people and adults in our churches. We see this as a Gospel imperative, based on our understanding of the value of each individual that God has created.
