The parish of St. Michael & All Angels Bodenham is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Hereford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer (DSO) (07593817717) safeguarding@hereford.anglican.org who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSO. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police (999).

 

For any non-urgent safeguarding enquiries please contact the Diocesan Office on 01432 373300

 

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Jo Beavan.
