Aligned with the mission of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, St. Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Church places safeguarding at the heart of its life and ministry.

We are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children, young people, and Adults at Risk, recognising that their protection from all forms of harm and abuse is of utmost importance.

Our Safeguarding team is dedicated to offering support and guidance to all members of our community on any safeguarding concerns. We actively listen to and learn from those affected by abuse, understanding that their insights and experiences are essential in shaping a compassionate and effective safeguarding framework.

We extend our gratitude to everyone who contributes to the safeguarding efforts at St. Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Church, including fr. Brian, Parish Safeguarding Representatives, the Parish Community, the staff of the Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Service and the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission.
