The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) is conducting a thematic inspection on survivor engagement and support across Religious Life Groups (RLGs) and dioceses of the Catholic Church.
Through a public survey/public call out we invite survivors to contribute their experiences of contact with the Catholic Church following abuse. The experiences may be new or ongoing, as well as those connected to non-recent abuse. The information will be used to gain a better understanding of survivor’s experience with church bodies, share best practice and to develop ways to improve this experience for both survivors and church leaders.
We would like to share these two links:
This process is being conducted with transparency, respect, and in a survivor-centred way. We would like to hear from as many voices as possible, enabling us to identify good practice and areas for improvement across the Church.
