St Nicholas Church takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Salisbury’s safeguarding pages 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 the PSO, Phil Bayley on 01380 859569, or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisers (Suzy Futcher 07500 664800, [email protected] and Jem Carter 07469 857888 [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."
