This document presents the work of the Safe Church Commission of the Anglican Communion, focusing on preventing abuse and harm within the church. It outlines the Commission’s efforts to promote safety, particularly for children, youth, and vulnerable adults, and details the guidelines developed for implementation across Anglican provinces.
The Anglican Communion Office (ACO) is the official secretariat of the Anglican Communion – a worldwide network of Anglican churches, in over 165 countries. The ACO connects member churches, encourages global mission, fosters Christian unity, promotes ecumenism and amplifies Anglican advocacy.
The ACO also supports and facilitates the ‘Instruments of Communion’: The Anglican Consultative Council, The Lambeth Conference, the Primates’ Meeting and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
