Safeguarding

Our Parish of St Mary's Seagry takes its safeguarding responsibilities very seriously and is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have a Benefice Safeguarding Officer (BSO). Our Diocese of Bristol’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our BSO.

Any individual who wishes to come forward with information or to make a disclosure is encouraged to make direct contact with the Benefice Safeguarding Officer, Katherine Bloomer on 01249 721569. Alternatively, you can contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Team on 0117 906 0100 or speak to someone from a dedicated independent support service where this is more appropriate. (see link below for further contacts)

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.
