Vulnerable adults

Advice on matters affecting vulnerable adults and developing good practice

The Diocese of Salisbury is committed to creating an environment in which all adults, especially those who may be vulnerable for any reason, are able to pursue their faith journey with confidence and in safety. We share the vision set out in the House of Bishops’ document Promoting a Safe Church (Church House Publishing: 2006)

If you've wandered onto this page and think that it has nothing to do with you as your church has no vulnerable adults, or that you personally don't work with this group – please think again.  We can all be vulnerable at some time in our lives.  We never know when vulnerable adults may be present in our congregations – and those of us who work with vulnerable adults would value your informed support. 

The Diocesan Vulnerable Adult Adviser welcomes any comments or questions on these issues.
