Our Benefice 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. We are in the Blackburn Diocese which has it’s own safeguarding pages at https://www.blackburn.anglican.org/overview. This contains vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor.
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.
