Safeguarding

Safeguarding at Wakefield Cathedral

Wakefield Cathedral works to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone.  We take our responsibility for the safeguarding of children, young people, and vulnerable adults very seriously and their welfare is paramount in all areas of cathedral life.  All clergy, lay staff, and volunteers are properly recruited, screened, trained, and supported.  We will deal promptly and properly with any safeguarding concerns and support those who have disclosed any safeguarding matter.
