Safeguarding

Encourage a safe environment for children and adults.

HeartEdge as part of St Martin-in-the-Fields  works to encourage a safe environment for children and for adults facing additional safeguarding risks who visit, worship or are employed at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Details of how to respond to a possible safeguarding risk can be found here.

The Parochial Church Council has adopted the London Diocese PCC Safeguarding Statement and all those who hire or use our premises are expected to abide by this safeguarding policy or agree a comparable policy with our safeguarding leads.

Our Safeguarding Contacts are:

  • Revd Andrew Woodward – Safeguarding Lead 
  • Kristine Wellington – Parish Safeguarding Officer
  • Ruly Tsang – Safeguarding Assistant for the Chinese Congregation

They can be contacted by emailing safeguarding@smitf.org.

The Church is the only organisation that does not exist for itself, but for those who live outside of it.
In churches there are many models of outreach serving local need and addressing social justice.
By gathering around artefacts and musical compositions, created by humans,  our imaginations are stirred so that the church and world can interact and find beautiful things in common and create wonderful things together
The Church's mission is not merely about maintaining institutions but about embodying God's love.
Good charity .. catalyses a journey in which both donor and recipient may flourish.

An opportunity to consider how we might bring a vision of hope to the communities we are part of
Being With is a life changing approach to helping people to consider faith.
