Church Access Plan

For some time we have been considering how to improve accessibility to Eyam Church for people with restricted mobility, and to make the building safer by constructing a new, legally compliant fire exit.  Following a public consultation in 2021 and planning applications the outcome was: that we could improve access to the Church through the main door, create a new fire eixt in the north wall behind where the organ currently sits and install an internal ramp along the north wall to allow accest ot he new fire door.  The Chancellor would like us to keep the existing organ if that is feasible, so in order to explore this we propose to erect a model of the organ in the west side of the north aisle on Friday 7th October to remain there until Friday 14th October.  During this period you are welcome to look at this proposed new situation for the organ and complete a feedback form.  If you have any questions about this please contact us on admin@eyamchurch.org.

Alpha Course

Starts 9th October at 7pm in the Church Centre.

Alpha is a multi week course where people can come and discuss life's big questions.

Thank you for your support

The Church of England is called to share the good news of God's salvation through Jesus Christ. The life of our communities and institutions is integral to how we address this task. The good news speaks of welcome for all,  with a particular regard for those who are most vulnerable, into a community where the value and dignity of every human being is affirmed and those in positions of responsibility and authority are truly trustworthy. Being faithful to our call to share the gospel therefore compels us to take with the utmost seriousness the challenge of preventing abuse from happening and responding well where it has.

If you have any concerns over any safeguarding matter please contact the Parish Safeguarding Officer Adam Innes - 07510 363145.  If Adam is not available you can contact Helen Gilbert - 07786 515557.  You can also contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team - 01332 388678.

PCR2

Protocols and practice guidance for the Church of England’s Past Cases Review 2, (PCR2) have been published and are on the National Church of England Website. 

Individual survivors who wish to make representations to the PCR2 process in the Derby Diocese or who need to come forward with information or make any disclosures regarding church related abuse are encouraged to make direct contact with the Safeguarding Team 01332 388678. 

However, recognising that this may not feel safe for those with experience of abuse from within the church, a dedicated national helpline - 0800 80 20 20 - operated independently from the church, by the NSPCC, was set up in September 2019 and remains available.

Survivors were not invited to contribute to the 2007-2009 PCR and the Church has wanted to ensure a different, trauma informed approach is taken by PCR2. Listening to survivor voices has helped to shape how this review will be conducted. 

We are now at the beginning of the PCR2 process, this is an independent review to look at all the safeguarding files, historic and current for both adults and children, including all Church officers. The review aims to ensure that wherever concerns have been raised that the cases have been handled appropriately.

The National Church has given a commitment to undertake a new Past Cases Review (PCR2) which will not only look at all types of harm, both to children and or adults, but will probe much deeper in records or concerns held in parishes, some of which may not have been reported to the DSA. Your vicar (or church warden if in Interregnum) will now have received a letter from +Libby outlining what is required to enable this significant piece of work to be completed. We need to submit the final report to the National Safeguarding team by the end of December 2020. We will be in touch directly with PSOs’ to give the detail of the next step, but it may be helpful if you identify where any parish records are held so that there is less work to do when we ask you for the details. The timescale for responding to PCR2 in the Diocese of Derby is by 31st March 2020.
