Our support
The impact of church-related abuse can be long-lasting and complex. We provide trauma informed support and advocacy to victim survivors of abuse within the Church of England helping them to move forwards with their lives.

We provide personalised advocacy to each survivor as they navigate the Church of England's internal complaints procedure. This can include direct representation or speaking on their behalf, ensuring that their experiences and concerns are fully communicated and respected.
Safeguarding Guidance for the Church of England
In addition to supporting survivors, we offer expert guidance to the Church of England on safeguarding practices and how to respond appropriately to disclosures of abuse,
