If you would rather speak to someone outside of the Parish you can approach the Diocesan Safeguarding advisor:
Greg Barry, Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser
Call: 01634 560000 or email: Greg.barry@rochester.anglican.org
If you are worried about a child or young person (under 18 years) and the information you have suggests that a child is at immediate risk of being harmed, you should tell the police without delay. This is an emergency and it is appropriate therefore to use the police emergency number 999.
If you are worried about a child but do not think that there is a risk of immediate harm, you should still speak to someone who can help as soon as possible (the same day).
Whilst you can contact our safeguarding officer, we are not an emergency service or a replacement for the Local Authority Children’s Service teams, and you should approach your local Children’s Services.
