Home > Safeguarding

The Priory of St Michael the Archangel (Blackfriars Cambridge) is firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. We adhere strictly to the safeguarding norms established by the Catholic Church in England and Wales and maintain a zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of abuse and maltreatment.

This commitment is rooted in the Christian belief that every individual is made in the image of God and possesses inherent dignity and worth. Each person has the right to receive care, protection, respect, and encouragement within a safe and supportive environment.

If you have any safeguarding concerns, we strongly encourage you to come forward. Should you suspect or become aware of abuse, please do not hesitate to report immediately to the statutory authorities, contacting the police directly via 999 if someone is in immediate danger. Safeguarding concerns can also be reported to the Religious Life Safeguarding Service at 0151 556 2311 or Safeguarding@religioussafeguarding.org

We pledge full cooperation and transparency with statutory agencies to ensure allegations are promptly reported, thoroughly investigated, victims and survivors supported compassionately, and perpetrators held accountable. Together, we strive to create and sustain an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
