Protecting children, young people and vulnerable adults is the responsibility of us all, whether they are in the communities in which we live or part of our Christian family.
If you have a concern about a child, young person or adult who may be at risk of harm please speak to the Parish Safeguarding Officer. The contact details are:

If you have any concerns about a member of the clergy or an employee of the church please contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, Hannah Hogg (01332 388682 / 07540 719447) or one of the Archdeacons.
