This is a really valuable resource and I commend it very warmly. Huge thanks to those who have put it together. It powerfully challenges the Church about the change that is still needed. There is a long way to go and this is an important part of that process. Please pass it on!

Jonathan Gibbs, Lead Bishop for Safeguarding

House of Survivors is an excellent and welcome development in the very long, long campaign to get the CofE to act with integrity, honesty, fairness, transparency, trust and accountability in safeguarding. Work in progress, as the CofE is not willing or able to act justly. Yet.

Martyn Percy, former Dean of Christ Church

The stories of survivors of abuse and their battles to be heard by the CofE – a really important resource which needs to be read by every bishop and all members of General Synod.

Pete Broadbent, retired Bishop of Willesden

Another example of the extraordinary leadership and humbling generosity of survivors of clergy and church-related abuse. Determinedly helping to make the CofE safer and better able to respond well to abuse victims and survivors and to rebuild broken lives

Sheila Fish, Director of SCIE

A new website brings together the experience and wisdom of many people who have experienced abuse in and by the @churchofengland. A vital resource to help bring about much-needed change.

Andrew Graystone

This site is simply excellent in all respects. Inspiring, encouraging, and informative. Well done to all involved.

Ian Elliott, International safeguarding expert

A timely and needed resource that should be browsed and reflected on by all across the Church
