St. Andrew's, Ryton 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 Lichfield’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, Hilary Blakely, who can be contacted on 01952 730205 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who can be contacted on 01543 306030. 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
