The parish of Gt Totham is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child
or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services. It lies in the heart of rural Essex overlooking the River Blackwater estuary. It provides a special place for community worship and a tranquil haven of peace in our busy world. But more, it seeks to serve the whole village with a variety of activities for all ages. Apart from special event services e.g Christmas, weddings, it provides a Senior Lunch Club, Teas, Fayres, festivals & Fetes, a mini-bus and a free Parish Magazine distributed to every home to support local businesses, Clubs and Societies, and people’s achievements.
