The Chelmsford Diocesan Safeguarding Team (DST) is here to support anyone with safeguarding concerns as well as those who work to keep our churches safe.
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.
Duty line - new concerns
