Immanuel Church and our parish of Highters Heath 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 Birmingham’s safeguarding pages http://www.cofebirmingham.com/hub/safeguarding/ 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 our PSO Helen Edwards from Holy Cross Church, on 07709 441322, or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Steph Haynes on 07342 993 844, or email Revd Phelim O’Hare (Area Dean) - [email protected].

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.
