Solihull Parish - Reporting Concerns and Allegations Feb 22

SOLIHULL PARISH

Reporting Safeguarding Concerns and Allegations

Safeguarding is Everyone’s Responsibility

If you see something – say something

If you suspect or witness abuse, or someone discloses information about a
safeguarding concern or allegation

Emergency

If a child or adult is in immediate danger or requires medical attention call the
emergency service on 999. Then record or report all information to the Parish
Safeguarding Coordinator or the incumbent as soon as possible.

Non-emergency

Within 24hours report to the Parish Safeguarding Coordinator or the
incumbent.

The Parish Safeguarding Coordinator or incumbent will discuss the concern or
allegation with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser who will provide advice and
guidance. This may include referring to social care or police.

If you have concerns regarding a church officer these must be raised. In this case the
Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser can be contacted if it is not appropriate to speak to
anybody in the Parish.

Remember the safety and welfare of any child or adult takes precedence over all other
concerns.
