The parish of Spennithorne : St Michael and All Angels 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, PSOs. The Diocese of Leeds’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSO. 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.

The parish safeguarding officer for each of the Parishes in the Lower Wensleydale Benefice is Gill Bartram. Gill can be contacted via [email protected] or through calling 01677 424 517.
