Our parish of Cottingley: St Michael & All Angels 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 Leeds’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 Mrs Shirley Moir on email: [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor on email: [email protected] or Tel: 0113 353 0257. 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.
