Safeguarding
Our church has adopted the Church of England’s safeguarding policies and good practice guidance. Further information about these policies can be found on the Diocese of Chester safeguarding webpages here.
To contact the Chester Diocesan Safeguarding team, email safeguarding@chester.anglican.org or telephone 01928 643442. For out-of-hours safeguarding advice, the Diocese partners with Thirtyone:eight and you can contact them on 0303 003 1111. An Information Sharing Agreement between the two organisations will allow the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser to receive a copy of the advice Thirtyone:eight may offer.
Contact details for our parish safeguarding coordinators are displayed in each church or you can use our Contact Form to get in touch.
In an emergency contact the police on 999 or 101 or Warrington Social Services on 01925 443400 (Children’s Social Services) or 01925 444239 (Adult Social Services) or for both the out of hours number is 01925 444400.
