Survey for survivors of abuse to complete to contribute to Review of Connexional Safeguarding Team
The Methodist Church’s Connexional Safeguarding Team underwent a restructure in summer 2025. We have commissioned an independent consultant to carry out a review of the Methodist Church’s Safeguarding arrangements just over a year into the new structure. The researcher is named Graham Tilby, who has much Safeguarding experience, including work with the Church of England.
We really want to find out (anonymously) what survivors think of our services – both at District level and the Connexional Safeguarding Team – both what is working well and what we could do to improve. Please find below an anonymous survey, which Graham has asked us to share with victims and survivors of abuse. Your answers (if you choose to complete it) will go only to Graham and anything you write would be anonymised if it is used in his eventual report. Any responses to the survey would be much appreciated and will contribute to helping us improve our services. Responses should be submitted by the 30th November 2026.
