Safeguarding

Safeguarding is important to us and to you. If you are concerned that someone you know is at risk of, or is being abused, or presents a risk to others, please seek advice from the Parish or Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, or if necessary, report the matter to your Local Authority Social Care Services or the Police.
