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 Officers (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain 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 one of the PSOs: Dr Kate Hughes, on 01832 734581/ 07768 521543 and at: [email protected], or her deputy Mrs Caroline Hope, on 07957 223027 and at: [email protected]. or PSO Mrs Carolyn Brawn, on 07805416947 and [email protected]

Alternatively contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Carole Fitzsimons at: [email protected]. 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.
