All churches in our benefice, including St John the Evangelist, Corby Glen, are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm.

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSO, for the whole benefice, who can offer safeguarding help and who knows how to respond to a safeguarding concern or allegation. Her name is Faith Ross, and she can be contacted via faithemelye@gmail.com

The Diocese of Lincoln’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contact details for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO.
