Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (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, listed on each church page, or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Andy Earl - [email protected] - 01872 274351 or out of office hours 07591 203589.

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.
