The parish of Wilton: St Cuthbert is 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 Officer, PSO. For further information please refer to the House of Bishops Policy Statement “Promoting a Safer Church” https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2019-05/PromotingSaferChurchWeb.pdf

The Diocese of York’s safeguarding pages (https://dioceseofyork.org.uk/safeguarding) contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) 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 DSA.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

Please contact our Parish Safeguarding Officer Lesley Guy who can be reached on 01642 473275 if you have any concerns. She will consult with the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer if appropriate.
