Safeguarding is at the heart of the life and mission of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. We are committed to ensuring that children and adults are safe, respected and heard in all our parishes, schools and ministries.

As part of a planned inspection of safeguarding in the Archdiocese of Birmingham, the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) has issued a public call for information. This is a normal and important part of the inspection process and helps ensure that safeguarding standards are not only met, but safeguarding practice is continually improving.

Have your say

We are encouraging people connected with the Archdiocese of Birmingham to take a few minutes to respond to a short CSSA survey. The survey asks just four questions and is open to anyone with experience of safeguarding within the Archdiocese.

All voices matter whether your experience has been positive, challenging, or neutral. Hearing this range of perspectives helps build a clear and honest picture of how safeguarding is experienced in practice.

CSSA Survey: Archdiocese of Birmingham

Why this matters

The information gathered through this survey will contribute directly to the CSSA’s independent inspection and will help the Archdiocese identify strengths, areas for development, and opportunities for further improvement.
