If there is an immediate risk of harm to an individual, dial 999 and report your concern to the police. If you have a safeguarding enquiry or wish to discuss a safeguarding concern, please contact the Parish safeguarding officer, Rector, or our Benefice Safeguarding team Lead Gina Finch. (See contacts)
Safeguarding is at the centre of our faith, in our practice, in our worship, in our praying, and in our believing. In other words, safeguarding needs to become integral to the life of the Church rather than an appendage, with good safeguarding behaviours flowing naturally and intuitively. This requires recognition that safeguarding needs to move away from something that is in some respects external / imposed upon the Church, to something that flows from within the soul of the Church.
