A prayer for Readers and Reader Ministry.
God our Father, you give us gifts
that we may work together in the service of your Son.
Bless and sustain those you have called to be Readers
and raise up men and women to offer themselves for this ministry.
Through their preaching, teaching and leading of worship,
may Readers proclaim Your Word, build up your people into your truth,
and serve them in your name,
that we may be mature in the fullness of Christ.
AMEN

The Chaplain's Safeguarding Statement.
Ensuring that children and young people as well as adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of ministry and Readers ( Licensed Lay Ministers) must have a current Disclosure and Barring check and be safeguarding trained to the National Church Standard c2. As chaplain I am particularly aware of issues and I assisted the diocesan safeguarding training team in teaching and trialling courses. I am happy to discuss safeguarding issues or concerns with readers and to help in any way I can to ensure the well being of readers and others in our care.
If you have any concerns about safeguarding please contact Sarah Acraman Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, 01872 274351
