Safeguarding

The parish of Holy Trinity with St Columba, Fareham 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).

See the Safeguarding pages of The Diocese of Portsmouth’s website (click here) for important links and information, including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advises our clergy and PSO.
