Our parish and congregation is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and we have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed, or may be at risk of harm, please contact the PSO, Sheena Douglas, at [email protected] or on 01228 576690.

The Diocese of Carlisle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contact details for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Joanna Van Lachterop, who advises our PSO. She can be contacted at [email protected] or at 07458 016884. Joanna’s working days are Monday to Friday. 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.
