The Salford All Saints team is a group of five churches who work closely together in the centre of Salford.

• St Luke, Weaste
• St Thomas, Pendleton
• St Aidan, Lower Kersal
• Holy Angels, Claremont
• Emmanuel, Seedley & Langworthy

Revd Peter Bennett and Revd Jo Jarrett are the Church of England priests responsible for the churches in the team, working with Revd John Palmer, the Methodist leader at Emmanuel. Emmanuel is an LEP (‘Local Ecumenical Partnership’) – a church jointly run by the Methodists and the Church of England.

Safeguarding

The All Saints Team is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs) in each church. Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSOs (contact details for individual church sites linked above), or team clergy or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (contact details below). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
