Safeguarding

"Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and our three parishes share a benefice Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). 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 [Mr John Loveless, [email protected] or Rev'd Louise Petheram, [email protected] 01433 621918] 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."
