Safeguarding at John Keble Church

At John Keble Mill Hill Parish, we are dedicated to safeguarding the welfare of children, young people, and adults. We adhere to the House of Bishops’  guidance and policies and appoint our own Parish Safeguarding Office (PSO), Ayo Bankole (email: safeguarding@johnkeble.org.uk), to oversee these responsibilities. The Diocese of London’s safeguarding page provides essential resources and contact details for the Edmonton Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Andrew Goodwin, who supports our PSO with specialist advice.

Should you have concerns that a child or adult has experienced harm or may be at risk, contact the Parish Safeguarding Officer immediately.

For urgent matters involving someone’s immediate safety, contact the police and your local authority’s children and adult social care services without delay.

Call 999 if a child or adult is in immediate danger of significant or serious harm.
