We are committed to ensuring that this is a safe place for everyone and take the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults very seriously. We adhere to safeguarding rules laid down by the Church of England and the Diocese of Carlisle.
Any safeguarding concerns can be addressed either to the Vicar, or to our Safeguarding Officer, Janet Thompson. They can be contacted via the church office 01539 721248 or safeguarding@kendalparishchurch.co.uk.
You can contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, Joanna Van Lachterop, 07458 016884 safeguarding.adviser@carlislediocese.org.uk.
Joanna works full-time for the diocese. If she is unavailable and you believe a child may be at immediate risk, you must contact Cumbria Children’s Services using the 24 hour number (0333 240 1727) or the police.
