This Sunday 17 November is national Safeguarding Sunday. This year's focus is 'let's talk about it', which encourages churches to talk about how communities can work together to prevent abuse and create a world where every child and adult can feel and be safe.

It's not too late to sign up to Safeguarding Sunday, and there are a number of resources available. Our former Bishop of Exeter, the Rt. Rev'd Robert Atwell wrote these safeguarding prayers and liturgical resources which you might find helpful to use in your Sunday services. You can find them here: churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/topical-prayers/towards-safer-church-liturgical-resources

You can also find resources on the Thirtyone:eight website: safeguardingsunday.org/
