Safeguarding

St. James's Church maintains a strict policy for the safety and protection of children and vunerable adults, in accordance with the directives issued by, and regularly reviewed by, the Church of England's Manchester Diocese.

"The parish of Oldham: St James with St Ambrose is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Manchester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services."

As a church community, we are committed to:

*  The care and nurture, and respectful pastoral ministry, to all children and adults.

*  The safeguarding and protection of all children and adults             

Diocesan Safeguarding Officer is: Abbey Clephane-Wilson.
