Call for Survivor Engagement in Safeguarding Review

The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) will shortly be carrying out a Survivor Thematic Review Audit, which may begin as early as September.


This review will focus on the experiences of survivors of abuse within the Catholic Church and how their voices are heard, respected, and acted upon.

As part of this important process, the CSSA is inviting anyone who has experience, insights, or information regarding survivor engagement in the Church to share their views. This could include survivors themselves, those who have supported survivors, or anyone with relevant knowledge.

Full details are available via the CSSA website:

Do you have information to share about survivor engagement?

For those ready to contribute, the CSSA has provided an online form where you can share your experiences and perspectives directly:

The Diocese is encouraging all parishes to help promote this important opportunity to contribute to safeguarding improvement. By sharing these links and encouraging participation, we can ensure that the voices of survivors are heard and help the Church continue to strengthen its safeguarding culture.
