The Diocese of London is committed to care for the spiritual, physical and emotional well-being of the children with whom it has contact. With this in mind, every parish is required to adopt a Child Protection Policy, as outlined in the House of Bishops' Policy Document on Child Protection (1999). This policy will govern the work undertaken with children who attend church or take part in children's activities on church premises or organised by the church within the parish.

Visit our internet forum for children’s workers. It’s the place to go to talk to other children’s workers and steal their ideas!
