Reporting Concerns 

Complaints

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is committed to its role which primarily includes “cooperation with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.” But there may be a time when you need to complain. The complaints procedure is for those who are unhappy about matters for which the PCC is responsible that have affected them.  You can find a copy of the procedure here.
 

Whistleblowing

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is committed to its role which primarily includes “cooperation with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.”   However, there may be times when someone has a serious disclosure that they need to make about any aspect of church life at St Paul's.  The PCC welcomes any such person to come forward and voice those concerns in confidence and without fear of reprisals.  The PCC has adopted the Diocese of Oxford Whistleblowing Policy and Procedure - you can find a copy here.
The people to contact if you have a whistleblowing concern in relation to any aspect of church life at St Paul's can be found here.
