Towards a ‘Safer’ Church

Safeguarding is Everyone’s Responsibility – together we can build a safer church

What to do if….

What to do if you have concerns about possible abuse (including allegations)

In an emergency, call emergency services 999

Otherwise, consult the person to whom you are responsible

Decide together whether to seek advice or to make an immediate referral to police or care services

Always contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser Hilary Higton on 07495 060869

Keep a record of what happened, your concerns and your actions

Tell your Parish Priest Allison Davies or Safeguarding Officer Anne Choi on 01386 750203

Only tell others who need to know
