Safeguarding

Our parish of Greasley 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, Mrs Fiona Walker, email: [email protected], telephone number: 01773 719941 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Julian Hodgson, telephone number 01636 817200, via email [email protected],or via the website:https://southwell.anglican.org/contact-safeguarding/
