Our parish of St Peters Stoke Park is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the Safeguarding Officer or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer Karen Galloway 07785 621319 or safeguarding@cofesuffolk.org If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police (999) and your local authority’s children or adult social care services (0800 917 1109).
This policy goes through how we promote a safe church environment and culture, especially focusing on how we safeguard children and vulnerable adults.
