Safeguarding

The parish of Sherborne with Castleton and St Paul's and the wider Sherborne Team Ministry, 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 Salisbury’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 Jon Massey by emailing [email protected] 

Alternatively you can contact a Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor at the Diocese of Salisbury by emailing [email protected] or 01722 438651 (press option 2) or Thrityone:eight 0303 003 11 11 if out of normal working hours.
