Safeguarding Statement of the Trustees of Ealing Abbey
The Trust of St Benedict, Ealing Abbey, is committed to the policies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. This commitment flows from the fact that we are all made in the image of God and the Church’s common belief in the dignity and uniqueness of every human life. We start from the principle that each person has a right to expect the highest level of care and protection, love, encouragement and respect that we can give. We will liaise closely and openly with statutory agencies to ensure that any concerns or allegations of abuse that are raised are promptly reported and properly responded to, victims supported and perpetrators held to account.
