Safeguarding Contacts

These contact details were correct when published here (in 2013), but of course they will change over time. If you find that any 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.
