Safeguarding:
The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) has recently launched a survey aimed at victims and survivors, with a particular focus on how dioceses and Religious Life Groups (RLGs) respond to those who have suffered abuse. 

The primary focus is on those who have had contact with a RLG or Church since July 2024 in relation to this abuse.

At Ampleforth Abbey, we are keen to encourage survivors and victims to contribute to this survey so that their experiences can help to make a meaningful and positive difference to the support that Churches and Religious Life Groups can offer.
More information about this initiative and a link to the survey can be found on our website, where you can also read more about our commitment to safeguarding and supporting survivors of abuse: https://www.ampleforthabbey.org.uk/cssa-survey

Our Lady & St Benedcit's designated Safeguarding Lead for the Parish is Amanda Toone. We now have a dedicated email address for her in this important role for the ongoing safety of each & every one of us in the Parish. If you have need of her help or advice, & if there is a safeguarding issue which you wish to report, please contact her on:
