A church or parish health and safety policy should set out how you will protect employees, volunteers and visitors who use your church.
Much of this guidance overlaps with how your parish manages its overall risk (click here for information on risk), but the following links direct you to some additional specialist websites with respect to managing health and safety in your church.
