Safe Spaces Statement

We are aware of the recent comments made by Justin Welby in his BBC interview. Safe Spaces is here to support victims and survivors of abuse linked to the Church, and our focus remains on advocating for them.

If anyone has been affected by these remarks or any other comments made by the Church or its representatives, we encourage them to reach out to us. We are here to provide confidential, independent, and compassionate support.

Safe Spaces is a free and independent service offering a safe, personal, and confidential space for anyone who has experienced abuse within, or as a result of their relationship with, the Church of England, the Catholic Church in England and Wales, or the Church in Wales.

You can contact our helpline on 0300 303 1056 

We are here for you, and you will be heard, believed, and supported.
