In accordance with its values and commitment to being a safe place The Pilsdon Community wishes to protect our guests, members, warden, children, staff, volunteers, trustees and visitors (ALL) right to dignity and respect.

We aim to maintain and develop an environment in which abuse, neglect, bullying, intimidation or threatening behaviours are known to be unacceptable and where individuals are able to bring complaints without fear or embarrassment.

The Pilsdon Community is committed to supporting those who come forward to express their concerns.

The Pilsdon Community is committed to implementing the ‘Stop Abuse Multi-Agency Safeguarding Adults Policy and Procedures’ and will work together with local statutory agencies to respond to individual cases of abuse.

We seek to protect the rights of all to dignity and confidentiality.

We will respond promptly, sensitively, consistently and effectively to reports or allegations of abuse or neglect.

We work in partnership and co-operate with statutory agencies in the implementation of their obligations under their statutory duties for protecting vulnerable adults and children.

We ensure that community members, Warden, employees, volunteers and trustees are given appropriate support and training.

The Safeguarding Officer is the Warden of the Pilsdon Community.
We are supported by the Safeguarding Team of the Diocese of Salisbury and Dorset Council.
