Welcome to St Mary's church, Harby.
Our parish of Harby is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously and have policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment; these follow the House of Bishops guidance. We have our own Parish Safeguarding Coordinator (PSC) to work with the incumbent and the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to implement these policy and procedures.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm in our parish, please contact the PSC Julie Hopkins on 07936 988493 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Rachael Spiers on M: 0793 081 9279 T: 0116 261 5341 or via email [email protected]
