Child Protection

Child Protection Adviser

The child protection adviser is Revd Jean Halliday.

 What does she offer?

• Expert and confidential advice to parishes about policy and practice
• Casework where abuse is disclosed or alleged
• Training
• Support when issues arise

How do we make contact?

• Phone Revd Jean Halliday on 01245 294438 or 07903 831965
• Or email jhalliday@chelmsford.anglican.org
• Or write to 53 New St Chelmsford CM1 1AT

What about CRB?

• Please contact Revd Jean Halliday, Diocesan CPA, or her assistant, for all enquiries relating to CRB applications. 01245 294457 or sosei-assibey@chelmsford.anglican.org or 07903 831965
• For processing youth work applications, parishes in Colchester Episcopal Area should continue to use Ray Gibbs.
• All other completed applications at present should be sent to Jean at the Diocesan office for processing.
• The diocese is a registered body with CRB and applications can be initiated by phoning CRB on 0870 90 90 822 and quoting the diocese’s number: 20849100005. This is quicker and therefore preferable to contacting Jean to ask for blank forms, but the latter is also possible.
• Completed forms for people employed and paid by a parish should be accompanied by a cheque for the CRB fee of £36 made out to CDBF when they are submitted for counter-signing.
