We take the safety and wellbeing of our young people incredibly seriously at SumRed. All our key youth and children’s ministry volunteers are regularly police checked. We have also appointed a Children’s and Young Person’s Safety Officer (CYPSO) who is an active member of our Parish Vestry & oversees our CYPS team.
Our current CYPSO is Hazel. Not only is Hazel discreet and easily approachable, she also has experience working with children within a professional environment. There are a number of posters displayed around the church grounds providing information for how to contact the Parish CYPSO, CYPS team and/or someone outside of the Parish if you or a young person experience, or suspect, abuse to be taking place. On top of this, you can also use the form below as an easy way to report a concern to both Hazel & the Christchurch Diocesan Safety Team. All submissions are treated in a confidential and professional manner.
