Safeguarding
Church Near Me is a directory only — for specific church safeguarding concerns, contact the church directly or the relevant denominational body.
Quick answer
Church Near Me takes safeguarding seriously — this page sets out our commitment to the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and signposts the safeguarding contacts and policies that apply when visiting any church.
Our Commitment
Church Near Me is an online directory. We do not operate churches, run programmes for children or vulnerable adults, or employ church workers. Our safeguarding commitment is therefore limited to the online environment.
We are committed to:
- Providing accurate information so that users can make informed choices about which churches to contact.
- Removing or updating listings where we become aware of safeguarding concerns associated with a listed church.
- Protecting the personal data of all website users in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Reporting Concerns
If you have a safeguarding concern about a specific church listed on this site, please contact that church directly, or their denominational body:
- Church of England — churchofengland.org/safeguarding
- Catholic Church in England & Wales — cbcew.org.uk/safeguarding
- Methodist Church — methodist.org.uk/safeguarding
- Baptist Union — baptist.org.uk
In an emergency, always call 999. For non-emergency safeguarding concerns, contact the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000 or the local authority children's services.
