How to raise a concern
Any safeguarding advice and concerns raised in parishes should initially be brought to the attention of the Church Safeguarding Officer or the Incumbent, who can seek advice from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team. Other areas of the diocese (e.g. chaplaincies) should contact the Diocesan Team directly.
