Our parish of Aldwick: St Richard 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 Chichester’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 our PSO amy@nurturingminds.coor the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Colin Perkins colin.perkins@chichester.anglican.org. 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.

We are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of all our members. We recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
