St Mary's Norwood Green 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 (https://www.london.anglican.org/church-and-parish-support/safeguarding/contact-us/) contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact St Mary's PSO, David Beeston: [email protected] / 07947132679. Alternatively, you can contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors - our main Leads for the Willesden Area are Angela Colman and Lee Elliott - [email protected] / 020 7932 1224.
*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.

Out of hours advice can be sought from the Thirtyone:eight helpline on 0303 003 111- select option 2. Thirtyone:eight is an independent charity which works closely with London Diocese Safeguarding Team. Further information can be found on their website - https://thirtyoneeight.org.
