Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer and Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs) for each of the 7 churches in the Benefice.

Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information and we refer all safeguarding information to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact our Parish and Benefice Safeguarding Officer, Christine Salter E: [email protected] or Revd James Moring E: [email protected].

We refer all safeguarding information to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team who can be contacted for advice via email [email protected] or by phone 01636 817200 or via the website Contact Safeguarding - Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham
