Our parish of Folkestone: St Mary & St Eanswythe (St Augustine) with St Saviour is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Canterbury’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO, Caroline Hayward following the link by clicking on the box below.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
