The Chelmsford Diocesan Safeguarding Team (DST) is here to support parishes, clergy, volunteers, and anyone with safeguarding concerns across the diocese.
We offer advice, guidance, and case management - working alongside statutory agencies where appropriate.
If you have an urgent or new safeguarding concern, please call our duty line on 01245 29 44 44 rather than contacting a team member directly. For previously reported cases, please contact your assigned caseworker.
