Our Parish of Kingswood 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 of Bristol’s 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 Mary Whyatt by emailing [email protected] or by phoning the Parish Office on 0117 967 3627; or contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Adam Bond on 0117 906 0100 or 07543 504977 or [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.
