CSSA audit backs safeguarding services in Diocese of East Anglia

 

The Diocese of East Anglia has been awarded a judgment of Comprehensive Assurance by the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) in an audit of its safeguarding provision.

 

The audit was conducted in Spring 2023 and the Executive Summary of its findings have been published here.  It is hoped that parishioners and visitors to our diocese will be reassured by its findings.  Bishop Peter, clergy and all who work and volunteer in the diocese are encouraged by it and remain committed to following up on the small number of  recommendations to further improve.  Particular gratitude is due to the Diocese’s Safeguarding Coordinator and Administrator, and to all Parish Safeguarding Representatives for their hard-work and commitment, which is reflected in this report.
