Our parish of Little Birch 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 Officer (PSO), Lisa Gould. Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO (Lisa Gould on 07958443316) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Carl Steventon – Tel. 07593817717.
