    Creating safe spaces together

    We are committed to safeguarding children, young people, victims/perpetrators of domestic abuse and vulnerable adults. The PCC has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding as shown on the Church of England’s website: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/safeguarding

    Our specific policy is here.

    If you have any non-urgent questions or concerns please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) on safeguarding@stpaulscambridge.org.uk

    Loving and Merciful God of hope and safety,

    We come to you in the knowledge that you hold all your children in unconditional love;
    We lift to you those who are vulnerable and in need of protection;
    Give them your safety, comfort and peace.
    We cry to you for those who are hurting and whose trust has been broken;

    We especially pray for those who have been abused in church settings;

    and we cry out for sorrow and ask for forgiveness.

    Lead and guide all church leaders, priests, deacons, lay ministers and congregations to follow good safeguarding practice;
    Bring healing, restoration and justice.

    Thank you for all who give their time, knowledge, and skills to make our
    communities safer. Give them your wisdom, guidance and grace.
    For ourselves, we ask you to give us your heart for the vulnerable, the oppressed,
    the voiceless and the forgotten. Help us to see them as you see them; to value them
    as you value them, and to nurture and protect them as you desire.
    Help each one of us play our part in creating safer places for all your people.
    In the name of the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.
    Amen
