Safeguarding

The Parish of Portsea is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We work to create protective and supportive environments where all people, especially those who may be vulnerable, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey in safety.

We follow the national legal and procedural framework for safeguarding children and adults. We also follow the Church of England's guidance and policies, as set out by the House of Bishops, and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). More information about national policy, links to wider resources, and Portsmouth-specific information (including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors, who advise our PSOs), can be found on the Diocese of Portsmouth's safeguarding page.

If you have a safeguarding concern about an adult or child, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officers - Jenny, Mandy & Linsey - at [email protected]

Alternatively, you can contact the Diocese's safeguarding team at [email protected] or 023 9289 9665

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.
