The Church of England and the Diocese of Bristol is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone within its church communities. 

Here at St Augustine’s we take safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults very seriously – and our safeguarding policy can be found on our website (http://staugustines-swindon.co.uk/about-us/safeguarding/). 

Also, we expect all groups and users of the church premises to comply with our policy, or their own safeguarding policy if they have one.

If you have a non-urgent concern, worry or question relating to safeguarding at St Augustine’s you should contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO):

Heather Kellett

Phone: 07776 458278.

This is the church telephone number and can be answered by various people. Please state that you have a safeguarding concern, leave your name and phone number only and Heather will phone you back to listen to your message in order to ensure confidentiality.
