Our parish of St. George's, Deal, 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) Sue Fotheringham and Rev. Jean Kerr. Our Diocese of Canterbury’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Fiona Coombs 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 [via link below] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [via the link at the top of the page]. 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.
