Safeguarding

Ensuring that children and young people as well as adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life. 

Our parish of The Rivers, Retford 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 Southwell & Nottingham’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 on 07384 580611, email [email protected] 

or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [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.
