Safeguarding

We take safeguarding very seriously at St James Garlickhythe. We accept and endorse the Principles of the House of Bishops on safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. Any parish guidelines and procedures are held in the church office at St James, Garlick Hill, London EC4V 2AF.

Our safeguarding officer is Joanna Kidd and is the first person to contact if you have any concerns around the welfare of a child, young person or adult at risk. She may be contacted via the church office – [email protected]
