At Sidlesham we are committed to safeguarding all children, young people and adults from harm and we believe in promoting a safe environment and culture for all.

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our 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 our PSO Vanessa Foden or Fr Chris. You can find the link to our safeguarding information and a contact form here:

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."
