Safeguarding
Report a concern
REGARDLESS of the circumstances and who is involved – if you see or hear something that makes you think that a child, young person or vulnerable adult is being neglected or abused in any way DO NOT HESITATE to report your concerns.
Do not attempt to investigate or resolve the issue yourself.
During office Hours contact the Methodist Safeguarding Team via
jenny.brooks@northamptonmethodistdistrict.org.uk
Out of Office where a child or adult is in serious danger then phone 999 / 101
Alongside our Safeguarding Policy, which you can read below, we now also have a leaflet explaining the importance and key principles of Safeguarding, along with a Cause for Concern Form. This is a form for you to use if you see or hear anything which you think is concerning and needs to be raised with our Safeguarding Co-ordinator.
