Safeguarding
Our parishes are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and each of our fourteen parish has its own Parish Safeguarding Officer (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 the PSO (see the individual parish page for details) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (see 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.
