Safeguarding

Our parish of Emmanuel Hampstead 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 London’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our Parish Safeguarding Officer. 

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer at [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor michelle.burns​@london.anglican.org // 020 3837 5082.

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.
