The Parish of North West Hampshire, which includes St James, Ashmansworth 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). The Diocese of Winchester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor 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 (Ann Rowe) at ( [email protected]), or the Diocesan Safeguarding Manager Mrs Jackie Rowlands at [email protected] or 01962 737317 or at the out of hours number (0300 555 1373 for social services). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police on 999 and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
