Reporting Abuse

If you are concerned about the welfare of a child or adult at risk, do not delay in contacting the police, using 999 if a child or adult is believed to be in immediate danger.

It is the policy of the Catholic Church in England and Wales to report all allegations of abuse to statutory authorities, regardless of whether the abuse occurred recently or in the past, or whether the accused person is living or deceased.

If you are in any role within the Catholic Church in England and Wales, you must refer allegations directly to the Safeguarding Office (0151 522 1043), or directly to the Police.

If you are a member of the public, please refer allegations directly to the Police and also to the Safeguarding Office (0151 522 1043).  You can also contact CSAS (Catholic Safeguarding Advisory Service) by telephoning 0207 901 1920 or via email at [email protected]
