Safeguarding

The parish of Cold Overton (within the Whatborough Parishes ) 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(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Leicester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs.
If you have a safeguarding concern, then please contact our local Safeguarding Co-ordinator, Mrs. Joan Gibson on 07789 937495 or the parish priest. The contact details for the Diocesan Safeguarding Team are available at the weblink below.
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.
