The parish of Withernwick is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSO, who is Mrs Jane Butterworth and can be contacted on 01964 534253. The Diocese of York’s safeguarding pages also contain vital links and information. The Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) can be contacted on 01904 699524 or e-mail [email protected]. The DSA also advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our PSO first or alternatively the DSA in you are unable to reach the PSO. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
