Safeguarding

St Francis of Assisi church is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) Jo Purvis (07985 598063). The Diocese of York’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 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Rob Marshall on 07914 668907 or email [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.
