This seminar will explore the effects of abuse on victims/survivors and church communities, and practical ways to provide support to those who experience or are affected by abuse, and those who care for them. Suggestions will be provided for implementing Safe Church guidelines to enhance the safety of all persons—especially children, young people and vulnerable adults—within the provinces of the Anglican Communion.
