Promoting a Safer Church

The Parish Churches of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale welcomes children and young people and wants them to be safe when they are on church premises or attending a church run event. To this end, the PCC has adopted the Diocese of Leeds, ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ 2017. 

We also recognise that everyone has different levels of vulnerability and that each of us may be regarded as vulnerable at some time in our lives. Therefore, the PCC has adopted the current Policy and Guidelines of the Diocese regarding the Safeguarding of Adults in the Parish.

A DALES PRAYER

May the Father's grace abound in you
        as the flowing water of the beck.


May the Son's love and hope invigorate you
        as the rising slopes of fell and dale.


May the Spirit's companionship be with you
        as the glory of the golden meadows.
