SAFEGUARDING
At Pattern Church we take keeping everyone safe really seriously. We place special care on ensuring that our teams working with Children and Young People are safely recruited and DBS checked.
If you have any concerns or questions about keeping people safe, or would like to report a concern, please contact a member of the clergy team or our Church Safeguarding Officers Alan Brownlie and Vicky Phair.
