Safeguarding

The Churchwardens and members of the Parochial Church Council of St Nicholas' Church, Silton are 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 (PSO). The Diocese of Salisbury’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors (DSAs) 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. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

If you have any Safeguarding questions or concerns, you can contact our PSO, Sarah Snook, on 01747 826844.
