Our PCC has formally adopted the House of Bishops’ ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’. Our safeguarding policy is updated annually.
Please click here for safeguarding information on the Newcastle Diocese website. A document entitled ‘You will be listened to’ gives information and help on how to report abuse within the church and how the church will respond.
"Our Benefice 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’s safeguarding pages 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 the PSO Dr Andrew Brittlebank [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Caseworker Jill Thirlaway : [email protected]. 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."
