Here at St Mary’s, we are keen that safeguarding is a positive and affirming part of our life of faith and mission. Everyone in our parish is safeguarded and safeguards; no one is excluded from being cared for and caring for others. We care for each other because we are brothers and sisters in Christ. We safeguard each other’s physical, emotional and spiritual lives.

NSPCC
Abuse robs children of their childhood. Without help, the scars of abuse can last a lifetime. And as devastating as it can be for the child, society pays a heavy price too.
Please contact our helpline if you’re worried about a child and speak to one of our counsellors in confidence.
Our helpline service provides:
- support for adults who are worried about a child
- advice for parents and carers
- consultations with professionals who come into contact with abused children or children at risk of abuse
- information about child protection and the NSPCC
Helpline Number – 0808 800 5000
