PROMOTING A SAFER CHURCH
St James’ have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy and the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, incorporating the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance
A copy of this, and the information below can be found here: https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2017-11/cofe-policy-statement.pdf
We also display the Promoting a Safer Church poster prominently within our church. This is in the entrance hall to Church along with relevant phone numbers and contact details.
All those working with children and adults at risk have undergone safer recruitment and received safeguarding training.

REPORTING A CONCERN
If you believe that someone is at risk of immediate harm please call emergency services on 999.

Any safeguarding concerns in a parish should be brought to the attention of the local Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSO) in the first instance.
• For Children – Claire Greenway who can be contacted at [email protected]
• For Adults – Neville Norcross who can be contacted at [email protected]

The PSO can seek further advice from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team as necessary.

FINDING SUPPORT
Safe Spaces is a free and independent support service, providing a confidential, personal and safe space for anyone who has been abused by someone in the Church or as a result of their relationship with the Church of England, the Catholic Church in England and Wales or the Church in Wales. If you have been affected, however long ago, SafeSpaces can provide you with support.
