Safeguarding

What to do when you have a concern

Having a Concern

There are many situations whereby a member of the church may have concerns, or be made aware of concerns, regarding a child, young person and adult. For example:

  • A child, young person or adult discloses abuse

  • Someone discloses concern for a child, young person or adult

  • Someone notices signs of potential abuse of a child, young person or adult

  • A child, young person or adult makes a disclosure about their own behaviour towards another child, young person or adult

  • Someone witnesses concerning behaviour during a church activity or during a home visit

The concern or allegation might relate to someone at church or to someone elsewhere (e.g. at home, work or school).

Initial response

If a child or adult is in immediate danger of significant or serious harm, please remove yourself from any danger, then immediately contact the emergency services by calling 999. 

                                           

One of the Diocesan Safeguarding Team should be contacted within 24 hours of the concern or allegation, using one of these direct contact numbers:

  • The Revel Group of Churches also has a Safeguarding Phone number 078 3894 8252  where a message may be left.
