The Parochial Church Council (PCC) takes seriously its responsibility to protect all children, adults and vunerable adults from emotional and physical harm.
The Clergy, Churchwardens and Safeguarding Officer are subject to review and approval by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Our parish of St Michael’s and All Angels is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Peterborough’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, the details of which are outlined below.
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services."
