St. Michael's in Kirkby Malham is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and all vulnerable people. This commitment is shared by our Officers, PCC and volunteers. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please do not hesitate to contact the PSO Andy East or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (details below). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
