Our parish of Virginstowe is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Truro’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 Sheila Annesley telephone 01409 211859 or [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor telephone 01872 274351 . 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.
