Safeguarding Contacts

These contact details will change over time. If you find that any that are no longer working and/or you have others to add, please edit this page yourself or pop a message on Central and someone will do it for you. Thanks.

Please note that although there is a comprehensive system set up for child protection, safeguarding vulnerable adults does not have the same level of mechanisms and information. If you are concerned about an adult you feel might be vulnerable, the agencies that advise on child protection will be able to help.

January 2025.
This page information was reduced, as the Board changed the method of reporting. National safeguarding advice is that the local contact advice is now removed from the wiki, as a safeguarding officer rather than individuals should deal with incidents or ask for advice. Contacting the safeguarding officer now is the internal channel for local volunteers.
