Notes on the performers

Mr Simpson’s Little Consort are an award winning early music group based in Buckingham.  We take our name from the 17^th century viol player and teacher, Christopher Simpson who published “The Division Viol” in 1665; an important treatise on how to play that instrument.  He also published the “Little Consort” - hence the name.  We particularly enjoy the virtuoso repertoire of the 17^th Century, but our historical words and music programmes offer repertoire ranging from the 15^th - 18^th centuries.  Performances include St John’s Smith Square, Tilford Bach Society, Buxton Festival Fringe where we have twice won awards, and various music  and historical societies including Stony Literary Festival. https://mrsimpsonslittleconsort.wordpress.com/

We  have prepared a lovely programme of Italianate music by composers 17^th Century Italian composers, alongside English composers and Italian migrant composers working in the English Courts.  Music by Monteverdi, Strozzi, Dowland, Lawes, Draghi, Ferrabosco and Bassano for soprano, theorbo and lute, viols and recorders.

 God of peace and justice

we pray for the people of Ukraine today.

We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow

that your spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace,

for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.

Above all we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.  Amen.

Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

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.
