The Parish of Barcombe - St Mary the Virgin and St Francis of Assisi - 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). The Diocese of Chichester’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 [use the Safeguarding Link] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [Safeguarding Link]. 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."
