Safeguarding within our Parish
Lickey and Blackwell Parochial Church Council attach great importance to the care and protection of our children, young people and vulnerable adults. We recognise our responsibility to guard against the possible abuse of children and young people and affirm these principles by the adoption of our parish policy “Privileges and Responsibilities of Working with Children” which is collated from and in accordance with the House of Bishops safeguarding policy, Birmingham Diocesan Policy on Child Protection from Drug Abuse and ‘Gods Children’ – Our Diocese, the policy for the Diocese of Birmingham to protect and promote the interest of children and young people.
If you have any concerns regarding safeguarding please contact our Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator, Emma Armstrong on 07981 477423.

Our Sunday Club meets on a Sunday morning during the 10:30am service at Holy Trinity.
Its for school aged children from 7 yrs onwards.
We know a big age group but we are more like a little family. We get together to study the bible in ways that are accessible to all of us including food, games as well as more reflective styles of learning. The older young people are a wonderful example to our growing children, and the children remind the young people of how God loves to play.

We eat cake, play games but more importantly are a little community that supports and encourages each other in our relationship with God and in how we face life with its ups and downs. Our evenings consist of studying the bible and our culture, and discussing how those two things meet, as well as once a month events such as bonfire nights, bowling, and movable feasts!
