Beccles 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 Safeguarding Officer.

The Diocese of St. Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer who advises our parish Safeguarding Officer.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the parish Safeguarding Officer, Serena Emberley 07947 217868, or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or safeguarding@cofesuffolk.org.

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.

Further information can be found in the Beccles Parish Safeguarding Policy and on the diocesan website Promoting a safer church - Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
