The Diocese of Northampton Safeguarding Conference brings together clergy, parish safeguarding representatives, volunteers and those involved in the life of our parishes for a day of learning, reflection and renewal.
Through expert-led presentations, lived experience and practical discussion, the conference will deepen our understanding of adult safeguarding, place the voices of victims and survivors at the heart of our conversations, and explore how our communities can become places of safety, healing and hope.
As a diocese, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding and to fostering a culture where every person is valued, listened to and protected. This conference is an opportunity to strengthen that commitment, learn from one another, and continue our shared mission of building communities that reflect the compassion, justice and love of Christ.
