Safeguarding
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. Please contact Jackie if you wish to volunteer for a ministry at Christ Church, need a DBS check, or need to report a safeguarding concern or allegation.
See our Safeguarding Statement here.
