Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is: Annette Stewart - Tel: 236244 - [email protected] <span style="font-size: 1rem;">and can be contacted about any safeguarding related matter. 

In ensuring high standards of practice in safeguarding we are also supported by the Diocese of Salisbury's safeguarding advisors, who work closely with the Guernsey Police and specialist staff of the States of Guernsey Committee for Health and Social Care.

The Safeguarding Advisers are qualified and experienced social care practitioners who can provide advice and guidance to parishes and others in the diocese on child and adult protection. They can offer advice, discuss any protection matters and clarify anything in the Deanery Guidelines. They are always ready to work with you to plan a detailed response to any protection issue, taking into account all aspects of your particular situation. Please do not hesitate to contact them; they are always very ready to help.

 In the Diocese of Salisbury, there are two Diocesan Safeguarding Advisers (DSAs), who work together in a job-share arrangement, providing safeguarding cover throughout the week. These are Jeremy (Jem) Carter and Suzy Futcher.

Jem Carter has responsibility for the Deanery of Guernsey and will have general oversight on all matters relating to the Island. In in his absence you should speak to Suzy Futcher, who will have full access to relevant safeguarding records and will also provide advice in line with this handbook about any safeguarding incident or query.

Jem Carter works 9 am - 5 pm, Tuesday - Friday inclusive, either from Church House, Salisbury or from home. Jem is also the dedicated Safeguarding Adviser to Salisbury Cathedral. Jem can be contacted by email on [email protected]. He is also available via mobile phone on 07469 857888. An on-line discussion can be arranged if necessary.

Suzy Futcher works 9 am – 5 pm, Monday - Wednesday inclusive, either from home or Church House, Salisbury. Suzy can be emailed on [email protected] or contacted via mobile phone on 07500 664800. Again, an on-line meeting can be arranged if needed
