Christ Church Cathedral

As Oxford's Cathedral, Christ Church is an ancient place of living faith and welcome in the heart of our city, which also hosts a wide range of concerts and events. From our roots as the Saxon religious community of St Frideswide established 1300 years ago, to the unique single foundation of Anglican cathedral and Oxford University College we are today, our story has been centuries in the making. Come and be a part of it!

Safeguarding

Christ Church is a place of worship, pilgrimage, sanctuary, and activity, and it should be a safe place for all. Safeguarding forms part of our everyday working practice and is the responsibility of everyone at Christ Church Cathedral. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies, as well as our own (which can be viewed at the link below).

The Cathedral Safeguarding Team is: Fiona Sidorowicz (Cathedral Safeguarding Officer), The Revd Charlie Kerr (Associate Cathedral Safeguarding Officer and Priest Vicar for Education and Pilgrimage), and Matthew Dickins (Associate Cathedral Safeguarding Officer and Chapter Clerk).

If you have any concerns regarding the safety or welfare of a child or adult, please email us at [email protected]. Alternatively, contact the Church of England’s National Safeguarding Team at [email protected].

If you believe a child or adult is in immediate danger or requires medical attention, please call the emergency services now on 999.
