Safeguarding

Our Safeguarding policy

St. Mary's Deepcar takes its duty and obligation to protect all extremely seriously.

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 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 - Mrs Sally Marsh - [email protected]

or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor - https://www.sheffield.anglican.org/safeguarding

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.

You can contact St. Mary’s Parish Safeguarding Officer - Mrs Sally Marsh if you have any queries about the Cornerstone Benefice Safeguarding Policy .
