Safeguarding Sunday and that has never felt more relevant. We have to go further than our policies, vital as they are, to create a culture where silence is unthinkable, where justice and integrity flow from a true understanding of the value and worth of all.

Thank you Andrew Graystone The churches in the #FellsideTeam The CofE in Lancashire (Blackburn Diocese) where I was this morning spoke of the #IICSA report, unprompted, and led a time of repentance. #SafeguardingSunday #IfItsNotSafeItsNotChurch
