Safeguarding

We at the North Kernow Benefice of Churches are committed to safeguarding all who worship in any of our churches and all who visit the churches. We recognise that everyone has different levels of vulnerability and that each of us may be regarded as vulnerable at some time in our lives, but there are particular groups of people who need to be cared for. These include children and at-risk adults.

Who to contact with any safeguarding concerns about the safety and well-being of children, young peope and adults:
Priest in charge: Rev Teresa Folland 01288 352599
or the Parish Safeguarding Officer (contact details for the Parish Safeguarding Officer can be found on each church's homepage on this website).

For advice and help from the Safeguarding team at the Diocese of Truro about a safeguarding concern , please email
[email protected].
The Diocesan Safeguarding Officer is Andy Earl (01872 247212)
