Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility but it is overseen here by:

                     
                       Rev'd Teresa Townsend

                       Parish Safeguarding Administrator - [email protected]
                      Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor: 01962 737317 or ​[email protected]
                      In an Emergency situation please dial 999
                      
Children/Adult Safeguarding for Hampshire out of hours - 0300 555 1373
For more Safeguarding information and resources, please visit ​Safeguarding - Diocese of Winchester


Serious Safeguarding matters will be forwarded to the Diocesan Safeguarding Office (or the police if immediate action is required) and we will follow the advice given.

Reporting a Safeguarding Concern:  If you are concerned that a child or an adult is, or may be at risk of abuse this should be reported immediately (and certainly within 24 hours) to one of the Parish Safeguarding Officer or the clergy listed above.

If it is a non-emergency situation you can report this either in person to one of the Safeguarding Officers or by telephone and they will then contact the Diocese Safeguarding Officer and ensure that we respond appropriately.  We will do everything we can to support the person at risk.

If it is an Emergency situation, and you believe the child or adult is in immediate danger of significant harm, then you should call 999 before reporting it to one of the Safeguarding Officers.
