Safeguarding is the care and protection given to the vulnerable. This includes: children, young people, elderly people, and anyone who is vulnerable due to their circumstances or to the role they may have when dealing with other people or children.
We take safeguarding seriously. If you are concerned about the safety of someone or about the actions of someone working with children or vulnerable adults please speak to someone about it.
If you need to speak to a person with safeguarding responsibilities, please in the first instance contact the Parish Safeguarding Representative in the relevant church. If you cannot reach your local Officer, please try Rev Kevin Chandra on 01398 331864 or or the contact form on this website, and your enquiry will be dealt with speedily and passed to the relevant person with complete confidentiality. Or you can share your concern with the Diocesan Safeguarding Team – see below for contacts.
Children who want to speak to someone about any concerns they have can call ChildLine on 0800 1111.
