The parish of Gravenhurst and Shillington 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 (PSO). The Diocese of St. Albans' safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSO.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA: [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.

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer can be contacted by telephone on 07394 903560 or by email on [email protected]
