The Anglican Diocese of Christchurch believes that we have responsibility to ensure that every person who engages with its churches, ministries, and community activities is protected, valued, and treated with dignity. This includes establishing clear safeguarding policies, promoting safe ministry practices, and providing training for clergy, staff, and volunteers to recognise and respond to concerns. We acknowledge that abuse has occurred within our church, and we lament our failings. We seek to support survivors of abuse with redress. Safeguarding is understood as a core expression of the Diocese’s commitment to pastoral care, ethical leadership, and the wellbeing of all who participate in its life and mission.
