Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults

The parish of Iken: St Botolph is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer, BSO. The Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advises our BSO.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

"Iken: St Botolph PCC has adopted the House of Bishops' Promoting a Safer Church: Safeguarding Policy Statement".
