Safeguarding

Here at The Good Shepherd we take Safeguarding very seriously and will respond promptly to any Safeguarding concerns.  If you have any Safeguarding concerns please contact our  whose contact details are in our Parish Safeguarding Policy below.  

In Shine, our Sunday morning children's and young people's groups, tablets are sometimes used (within the context of the topic for that week) to enable the children and young people to search for information online.  To help ensure the children's safety, we also have an online safety agreement (see below) that we ask all children and their parents to read and sign, and an overarching Online Safety Policy (also below) under which the online Safety Agreement sits.
