This Benefice takes very seriously its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we operate in accordance with best practice at all times. We have adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ Safeguarding Policy Statement.
If you have a safeguarding concern
If you have a concern about anyone connected to an activity or event we are responsible for, or if you are experiencing abuse, or have experienced abuse in the past, we are ready to hear from you.
If you have information about a safeguarding situation where a child or adult is in immediate danger or requires medical attention, call the emergency services on 999
For non urgent local safeguarding enquiries you can either email our Parish Safeguarding Officers at safeguarding@sherborneabbey.com or speak with the Vicar.
The Diocese of Salisbury provides further information on their website, including contact details and how to report a concern to the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor.
