Chester Cathedral is committed to being a safe and caring place for all. This means that we must promote a safe environment and culture, safely recruit and support all staff and volunteers, respond promptly to every safeguarding concern or allegation and to those that may pose a present risk to others, care pastorally for survivors of abuse and other affected persons and for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations. We will do this in line with best practice by following the practice guidance of the Church of England.

If you have any safeguarding concerns or issues of a safeguarding matter then please contact our Cathedral Safeguarding Officer, Sharon Scarlett at [email protected] or 01244 500 953.

Alternatively, the Diocesan Safeguarding Team can be contacted at [email protected] or on 01928 718834 (option 4).

However, if someone is in immediate danger or harm, call 999 and ask for the Police.
