Our parish of Aldwick: St Richard is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and aim to have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) - as soon as we can recruit an appropriate person to this role. Our Diocese of Chichester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises each PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, whilst we are without our own PSO, please contact our Rural Dean Rev Paul Armstead, or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Colin Perkins. 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.
