Safe Spaces is a free and independent support service for anyone who has experienced abuse in relation to the Church of England, the Church in Wales, or the Catholic Church of England and Wales. This could be abuse by someone who holds any role in the church or is linked to partici- pating in a church-led activity or group.If you have been affected, however long ago, Safe Spaces can provide you with support. You do not have need to have told the police or the church authorities, and you do not have to still be in- volved with the church. Your information will not be shared without your consent, unless you or someone else is in immediate danger. Safe Spaces can provide a range of help, including ad- vocating with authorities and other agencies, giv- ing emotional support, providing information (including information on church and police proce- dures), understanding your needs and working together on individual support plans.Tel: 0300 303 1056 (answerphone available out- side of opening times)Email: safespaces@victimsupport.org.uk LiveChat - via the Safe Spaces website
