Safeguarding

If you have information about a safeguarding situation where a child or adult is in immediate danger or requires immediate medical attention call the emergency services on 999. Do not delay.

The PCC of St Saviour’s Hanley Road has adopted the House of Bishops’ ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’.
