Safe In Faith has released a signposting toolkit that provides resources to clergy, aiming to help Catholic parishes offer assistance to those fleeing domestic violence and abuse.

Safe in Faith is a project of Caritas Westminster aimed at supporting victims of domestic abuse in a faith setting. The project has now launched a signposting toolkit which helps faith leaders and clergy identify potential signs of domestic abuse and provides them with the necessary tools to support victims in their parishes.

The booklet offers guidance on how to provide a safe, trauma-informed response to anyone seeking help or advice from the Church. It also provides a wealth of signposting resources to other agencies which takes into consideration people’s faith and cultural needs.

The toolkit, poster and more information about Safe in Faith can be found on their website: caritaswestminster.org.uk/safe-in-faith
