Safeguarding
St. James's Church maintains a strict policy for the safety and protection of children and vunerable adults, in accordance with the directives issued by, and regularly reviewed by, the Church of England's Manchester Diocese.
"The parish of Oldham: St James w St Ambrose is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults.

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."
