Our parish of Basildon is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Oxford’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 Mrs Daisy Woods on 07968 846326 or at [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Charlotte Wilmshurst: 07443 700159. 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.

Although safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone here in The Benefice, Daisy Woods is our designated Safeguarding Lead and can be contacted about any safeguarding matter by emailing [email protected]
