Important contacts:
Rev Dawn Airey, Vicar, (01933 673437) vicar@gleneaglesanglicanchurch.co.uk
Parish Safeguarding Officer – John Gilyead, (01933 402744) thegilyeads@btinternet.com
Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser – safeguarding@peterborough-diocese.org.uk
The Diocese of Peterborough has also appointed an independent advocate to provide the lead for survivor care, support and engagement. If anyone wishes to contact her, please contact the DSA team as above. We recognise that this option may not feel safe for those with a lived experience of abuse from within the Church. A dedicated telephone helpline, operating independently from the Church, has therefore been set up for those affected by issues which may arise as a result of a past experience.
The number is 0800 80 20 20 – ‘Past Cases Review 2 NSPCC Helpline for Children and Adults’.
