Safeguarding at St Michaels Shelf with St Aidans Buttershaw

The parish of Shelf: St Michael & All Angels is committed to safeguarding 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 Leeds's safeguarding pages contains vital links and information, including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA), who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, don't hesitate to contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, don't hesitate to get in touch with the police and your local authority, Children or Adults Services.
