SAFEGUARDING: PROMOTING A SAFER CHURCH

The parish of St Barnabas with Christ Church 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 Worcester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Team, DST, 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 DST. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

IF THERE IS IMMEDIATE RISK OR DANGER PLEASE CONTACT THE POLICE ON 101
