Children, young people and schools

We are prioritising work among children, young people and schools and encouraging our parishes to listen to the voice of their young people.

For more information about working with children, young people and schools please visit the Diocesan Board of Education's website. Alternatively, please contact the Director: Stephen.Whittaker@Blackburn.anglican.org Tel 01254 503070.
