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, you can speak to our Safeguarding Officer Sarah Higgs in confidence. If you have concerns about a member of the clergy or an employee of the diocese please contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Team on 01332 388678.

You can also report any concerns to the Police or Social Care. In an emergency dial 999. The important thing is that your concerns are shared with someone in a position to help.
