St Peter's, Freston is a beautiful church with incredible history situated in the equally beautiful and small village of Freston. Freston lies close to the River Orwell and the church itself is situated in the lovely Suffolk countryside.
Our parish of Freston is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officers. Our Diocese of St. Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer who advises our parish Safeguarding Officers. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the parish Safeguarding Officers or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or [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.
