Our parishes are committed to
the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of
Bishops guidance and policies and have
our own Parish Safeguarding Officers. The Diocese of Durham's
safeguarding page contains
vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding
Adviser, who advises Parish Safeguarding Officers. If you are concerned that a child or adult has
been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. If you have
immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and
your local authority Children or Adults Services.
Both our parishes take seriously our commitment to safeguarding with respect to Children and Young People and to Vulnerable Adults.
