Our parish of Horley 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 Southwark’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. Diocese of Southwark is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults and for many years this commitment has been at the heart of our work across the parishes. As a result, we have developed policies, procedures and training at all levels of the Diocese and I commend them to you.

It is my prayer that the polices and practice followed here in the Diocese of Southwark will help to contribute to making the Church a safe and welcoming place for all.’

Bishop Christopher
