Our parish of Swine with Ellerby: St James 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 (BSO). Our Diocese of York’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our BSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the BSO who can be contacted on [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor on 01904 699509 / 07914 668907 or by email at [email protected] . 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.
