The parish of Lockerley and East Dean: St John's is committed to the safeguarding of 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 Winchester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO (Sarah Peppiatt - [email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (Jackie Rowlands - [email protected]). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
