Our parish of Swalwell 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). Our Diocese of Durham’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer 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:
Mrs Susan Royal - [email protected]

or the Rector
Rev'd James Scott - [email protected] / 0191 676 7417

or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor:
Mrs Beth Miller - [email protected] / 07968 034075
