The need to listen to and support victims and survivors is central to the work we do in Safeguarding across our diocese.

We want to ensure that the voices of victims and survivors are integral to the work we do in all our chaplaincies.

Eden Voice advocates for victims and survivors of church-based abuse. Eden Voice is a group of volunteers drawn from across the diocese reflecting on how the diocese responds to victims and survivors.

Practically, the group meets quarterly (online) for prayer and discussions. Eden Voice works in partnership with the Diocesan Safeguarding Team (DST). 

We welcome new members from different backgrounds and countries. We are happy to receive requests of interest. There are no pre-requirements but we expect all our members to go through the Church of England safeguarding training.  

Please let us know of any questions or if you’d like to consider joining us by emailing europe.safeguarding@churchofengland.org
