Our parish of Payhembury 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 Representative (PSR). Our Diocese of Exeter’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSR.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSR , Pat Fowler on 01404 841646 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, Costa Nassaris on 01392 294969 or 07809 33950.

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.
