Our parish  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  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, Anne DeVere on 07757 385444 or contact the diocese.

The Diocese of Hereford Safeguarding Officer is Carl Steventon and he can be contacted on 07593 817717. For any non-urgent safeguarding inquiries or in the event of Carl being unavailable please contact the Diocesan Office on 01432 373300

The welfare of the vulnerable person – child or adult – must always be held paramount, no matter how uncomfortable that may be because only in that way, can we create a church that is safe for everyone.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police (101 [or 999 if an emergency]) and Telford and Wrekin Council's safeguarding service for children and adults (01952 385385).
