Holy Trinity Church works hard to safeguard children and young people, vulnerable adults and those in abusive relationships. We aim to create safe environments, where children and young people are nurtured and protected; and where all people, and especially those who may be vulnerable for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety.

We act promptly on any complaints made, and work in partnership with Leeds Diocese, the police and social care services where children or adults at risk have been harmed or are at risk of harm or mistreatment.
