We are a benefice of two parishes in Winchester: the parish of St Bartholomew, serving the people of Hyde and Abbotts Barton, and the parish of St Lawrence with St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate, with two churches in the city centre itself.
Our parishes are 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 PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the parish’s PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Manager – use the button below for contact details. 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.
