Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 Diocese of Carlisle Benefices of Bowness-On-Solway, Kirkbride, and Newton Arlosh; the Barony of Burgh; Solway Plain
Katie Lowe Pastoral Case Advisor Our ref: NB7/37 8 June 2021 Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 Diocese of Carlisle Benefices of Bowness-on-Solway, Kirkbride, and Newton Arlosh; the Barony of Burgh; Solway Plain The Bishop of Carlisle has asked us to prepare a draft Pastoral Scheme in respect of pastoral proposals affecting this benefice. I attach a copy of the draft Scheme and a glossary of terms used together with the Notice. I am sending a copy to all the statutory interested parties, as the Mission and Pastoral Measure requires, and any others with an interest in the proposals. Anyone may make representations for or against all or any part or parts of the draft Scheme (please include the reasons for your views) by post or, preferably, by email to reach me no later than midnight on Monday 12 July 2021. If we have not acknowledged receipt of your representation before this date, please ring or e-mail me to ensure it has been received. For administrative purposes, a petition will be classed as a single representation and we will only correspond with the sender of the petition, if known, or otherwise the first signatory for whom we can identify an address – “the primary petitioner”. If we do not receive representations against the draft Scheme, we will make the Scheme and it will come into effect as it provides. A copy of the completed Scheme will be sent to you together with a note of its effective date. If we receive any representations against the draft Scheme, we will send them, and any representations supporting the draft Scheme, to the Bishop whose views will be sought. -

St John's Safeguarding Policy
Please see the Parish Safeguarding Handbook for day to day policy and guidance Safeguarding Policy Version 4 January 2019 (including the Safeguarding Policy of the Church of England - “Promoting a Safer Church” on Page 116) The Parochial Parish Council (PCC) of this Church has adopted the following policy for safeguarding children and adults who may be vulnerable. It is based on the Carlisle Diocese, Safeguarding People Policy, the parish safeguarding handbook www.carlislediocese.org.uk/people-and-structures/committees/safeguarding.html “The House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy”, the Church of England “promoting a Safer Church document and the Home Office Code of Practice, “Safe from Harm” and Safer Recruitment Guidance 2013. 1 January 2019 Introduction This updated Safeguarding Policy for the Parish of St. John’s in Hensingham brings together in one document the best current practice, national guidance from the House of Bishops, and recommendations from the Diocese of Carlisle. It complies with the Safeguarding Policy o the Church of England (see page 117). It combines “child protection” with “safeguarding vulnerable adults” – recognising a legal and moral responsibility to care for everyone and make sure that everyone (whatever their age) is able to flourish, enjoy and be served by what we do through our ministry, worship and care. Churches should be places where there is the highest level of concern for the welfare of all with whom we come into contact, because we know that everyone is loved by God. Some aspects of this Safeguarding Policy are requirements – and must be followed so that we are able to demonstrate we are operating properly in these areas. -
