The Parish of Kingswinford: Church of the Ascension is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults.  We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our parish safeguarding officers (PSOs), readily available.  The Diocese of Worcester's safeguarding pages contain vital links and information, including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA), who advises our PSOs. You can access the Diocese of Worcester's safeguarding pages here.  If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or maybe at risk of harm please contact the DSA.  

If you have immediate concerns of a child or vulnerable adult being in danger or at risk of significant harm, call 999.
