Safeguarding

Our Parish 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 Co-ordinator (PSC). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSC. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSC or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor - see the contact list below.
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.
