Safeguarding

Our benefice/parish of Long Melford is committed to safeguarding children, young people, and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officer. Our Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer who advises our Safeguarding Officer. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact our Safeguarding Officer Cheryl Morgan 07943 811030 or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Karen Galloway on 07785 621319 or email safeguarding@cofesuffolk.org. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services which can be found here.
