Safeguarding

The PCC of St Mary, Kirkburn have adopted the Church of England policies and practices on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England web site at www.churchofengland.org/safeguarding 

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
