Safeguarding Policy

At St Anne’s, keeping children, young people and adults safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life. We believe that safeguarding is everyone’s business.

All staff and clergy undergo safeguarding training and have up to date DBS checks and we do everything we can to make being a member of St Anne’s Choristers an enriching, enjoyable and safe experience for children and their families.


If you need to report a safeguarding matter

If a difficulty should arise and you need to speak with someone, please get in touch with

Choir Director Elin Heron 07551 393 283 or the

Priest-in-charge, Fr Giles Orton, 07768 827101 and this should bring the quickest and easiest resolution.

Please report any problems or voice any complaints as soon as possible. It is probably best to arrange a separate meeting outside of choir attendances so that the matter can be given full attention.

Safeguarding matters which cannot be resolved by speaking with either the Choir Director or the Priest-in-charge can be referred to the

Parish Safeguarding Officer Helena Walker 07531 036 170 or the

Derby Diocesan Safeguarding Team 01332 388 678
