Goodbye to Dawn

Thursday 30^th April was the final day working in the parish for Dawn, our Vicar, before she started her three-month Sabbatical.

She will return for her leaving service on Sunday 2^nd August, when we will be able to say a final goodbye and thank you to Dawn as she moves on to pastures new.

I know the whole church will want to thank Dawn for all she has done in working tirelessly for this church and parish to spread the good news of Jesus and to disciple and strengthen us in our faith.

Over the coming months, Ben and Livvi, our curates, will work alongside our amazing churchwardens, Matt Ellson and Helen Cracknell, to manage the day-to-day running of the church until a new Vicar is appointed.

The vicar@nwanglicanchurch.co.uk email account will still be monitored but you can contact Ben and Livvi directly on:

Safeguarding

is Our Responsibility

Safeguarding is a priority at Gleneagles church. We have adopted government and Church of England guidelines on the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and good working practice, including safer recruitment of volunteers and paid workers.

For details of how to contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer and other resources click here.

Action to be taken in the event of a potential issue

If there is concern that a child or vulnerable adult is at risk of harm, inform the Parish Safeguarding Officer or Incumbent who will take advice from the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser (DSA) or Local Authority Social Care. If the incumbent is implicated, inform the DSA.
If there is concern that a child or vulnerable adult has been harmed, immediately inform the Parish Safeguarding Officer or Assistant or Incumbent or DSA and agree who will make the referral to Local Authority Social Care team. If no-one is available, contact the Local Authority Social Care Team or Police directly.
