The Stourdene Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have a Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) in each of our 6 parishes. Our Diocese’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 in the respective parish or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. 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.
