Safeguarding

We take safeguarding very seriously at St Andrew by the Wardrobe. We accept and endorse the Principles of the House of Bishops on safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. Any parish guidelines and procedures are held in the church office at St Martin Ludgate, 40 Ludgate Hill, London, EC4M 7DE.

Our safeguarding officer is Laura Li and is the first person to contact if you have any concerns around the welfare of a child, young person, or adult at risk. She can be contacted on – safeguarding@standrewbythewardrobe.org. Our usual office hours are Monday – Wednesday 8:30am – 5:30pm.

You will find our Parish Safeguarding Policy at St Andrew by the Wardrobe Safeguarding Policy June 2026
