Safeguarding

Click here for new resource for survivors of church-based abuse:

If I Told You, What Would You Do?


NEW DATES AVAILABLE FOR C2 (LEADERSHIP) SAFEGUARDING TRAINING - go to the training page for details.


The Ministry of Justice have launched a survey to find out more about the barriers victim-survivors of adult rape and sexual violence face in accessing support and what kind of support would best meet their needs. They are seeking the views of adult victim-survivors, irrespective of whether they have previously told someone about the sexual violence or abuse, sought support or reported it to the police. The survey can be accessed through the following link: Ministry of Justice Victim-survivor Support Needs Survey and where appropriate please share with victims and survivors your service is supporting. The survey will be open until 9am on Monday 18th of July 2022.

Contacting the safeguarding team & reporting concerns:

As of 30th June, you can contact a diocesan safeguarding team directly during working hours TO REPORT A CONCERN, or for guidance and support:
