Our Benefice 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’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 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, 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.
Our Benefice policy is displayed in each church along with contact details of our Parish Safeguarding Officer.

We aim to promote a safe environment. We recognise that everyone is vulnerable, we are all accountable and our actions should be transparent. We strive to be active about safeguarding and to avoid complacency.
