Reporting abuse or raising a concern
If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical attention contact the emergency services on 999.
If the situation you are reporting is not an emergency but you are worried about
someone and want to raise a concern or report abuse, please contact our Safeguarding Adviser Christine, who may be contacted at church, by phone on 07957 438949 or by email.
