The united parish was formed in the late 90’s from the adjacent parishes of Scotby (All Saints Church) and Cotehill (St Johns Church) with Cumwhinton. All the villages are located within Cumbria, to the east of Carlisle between the A69 and the M6.
Safeguarding
The parishes of All Saints’ Scotby, and St. John’s Cotehill with Cumwhinton are committed to the safeguarding of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We aim to promote a safer environment and culture in all that we do, ensuring that everyone feels welcome, respected, and safe.
We follow the Church of England’s national safeguarding policies and procedures, which are based on the principles of Promoting a Safer Church. These include safely recruiting and supporting those who work with children and vulnerable people, responding promptly to concerns, and caring pastorally for those affected.
If you have any concerns or wish to speak to someone about a safeguarding matter, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer: Tony Cattermole – email: safeguarding@sccparish.church
You can also contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team at safeguarding.adviser@carlislediocese.org.uk
Together, we are committed to ensuring our churches remain safe and welcoming spaces for all.
