This document is a guide published by the Safe Church Commission of the Anglican Communion, providing key definitions and suggested methods for implementing Safe Church practices. It aims to help provincial and diocesan teams begin their work in making churches safer for all individuals.
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.
