The parish of St Germoe is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and usually have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSO however there is a vacancy at the moment. The Diocese of Truro’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA). If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
Ensuring that children and young people as well as adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life. If you have any concerns about safeguarding please contact:
In the Diocese: Andy Earl Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, 01872 247212/[email protected] or the Rural Dean, Rev'd Heidi Huntley (01326 334370).
