Out of Hours Support
The Diocese of Chester partners with thirtyone:eight and you can access its Safeguarding Helpline if the Diocesan Safeguarding Team is unavailable. Thirtyone:eight can be contacted on 0303 003 1111.
This number can be used for any safeguarding queries outside of office hours on weekdays and weekends. An Information Sharing Agreement between the two organisations enables the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser to receive a copy of the advice thirtyone:eight may offer the caller.
In the case of an emergency
If you have immediate concerns about someone’s safety, please contact the police, and your local authority Children or Adults Service.
