Message from Bishop Michael
Safeguarding is integral to the life of the Church. It is not an add-on to our ministry, but part of our calling to reflect love, justice, and care of Christ in every community. As a Diocese, we are committed to ensuring our churches are safe places for all, where people are respected, valued, concerns are taken seriously, and those who have been harmed are listened to with care and compassion. This requires vigilance, humility, and a willingness to listen, especially to those with lived experience of abuse.
This website brings together safeguarding policies, guidance, and support in one place. It reflects our commitment to accountability, ongoing learning, and a culture in which concerns can be raised safely and responded to appropriately. I am grateful to all who serve in safeguarding roles across our parishes and diocesan structures. Your work matters, and it makes a difference. Together, we continue to strengthen safeguarding practice so that our churches may be places of trust, compassion, and hope.
