Our parish of Stevenage, St Mary, Shephall 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 St.Albans’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 [Elaine Dougherty 07900-481159] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [Jez Hirst 07867-350886]. 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.
