Safeguarding

The parishes of Workington: St. Michael’s and Workington: St John's are committed to safeguarding of children, young people and adult. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Carlisle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer 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, Mrs Wendy Kendall Tel 07912 422653 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer Joanna Van Lachterop Tel 07458016884. If you have any immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and Cumberland’s children or adult social care services
