    Safeguarding

     

    The parish of Westhoughton: St Bartholomew, St Thomas and St George is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSOs. The Diocese of Manchester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

    Our parish Safeguarding Officer may be contacted by email at joan.oreilly@hotmail.co.uk.

    Or contact the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, Abbey Clephane-Wilson - 0161 828 1451

    Welcome to the website for the parish of Westhoughton - one of the four parishes that make up the Blackrod, Daisy Hill, Westhoughton and Wingates Team Ministry.  We are a Church of England parish with congregations meeting for worship in the parish church (St Bartholomew's) and in two of our church schools (St George's and St Thomas's).
     
    I can assure you of a warm welcome at any of our services and hope that you find the information shown here helpful.
