The parish of St Michael & St Paul, Alnwick 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).
The Diocese of Newcastle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Director of Safeguarding and the Diocesan Safeguarding Caseworker who advise our PSO.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the PSO, Patty Everitt. Alternatively, please contact Jill Thirlaway, the Diocesan Safeguarding Caseworker using this link.
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
