Safeguarding

The River Idle Benefice is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and each Parish has its own Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham's safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs, who are listed below. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
