St Catherine's has been at the hub of Heald Green life for over 90 years, and we continue to be involved in community activities and events. We are an Anglican church and we hold regular services at the church every Sunday and Wednesday, where we welcome worshippers from all walks of life. You can find out more about the church and our activities on our website www.stcatherineshg.org.uk.
Safeguarding
At St Catherine’s Church 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: Les Clough. Email: [email protected]
The Diocesan Safeguarding Team can be contacted at [email protected] or on 01928 643442
Out of Hours Support
The Diocese of Chester partners with thirtyone:eight and you can access their Safeguarding Helpline if the Diocesan Safeguarding Team is unavailable. Thirtyone:eight can be contacted on 0303 003 1111. This also includes any safeguarding queries outside of office hours on weekdays and weekends. An Information Sharing Agreement between the two organisations will allow the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser to receive a copy of the advice thirtyone:eight may offer the caller.
In the case of an emergency
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Service.
