We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officer.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the Benefice Safeguarding Officer, Tom Bowen 07588 871220 or [email protected], or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or [email protected].
