Safeguarding

At St James we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance. If you have any concerns or enquiries regarding safeguarding, please contact our Safeguarding Officer or the Diocesan Safeguarding Team for the Diocese of Chester:

Parish Safeguarding Officer: Revd Keith Addenbrooke

We also have an independent Safeguarding Officer in the Parish, whose confidential contact details are on the Posters in both St James and St Bede if you would prefer to speak with them.
