Our parish of Houghton on the Hill: St Catharine is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Leicester’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 then please contact our local Safeguarding Co-ordinator, Sarah Statham on 07912846817, or the parish priest, Steve Ransley on 07977298838 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor via the link below. 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.
