Unfortunately I've had an extremely bad experience with Clifton Cathedrale.

Initially I Joined last year (2023) and was extremely grateful for their Christmas gatherings which were lovely, joyous and delightful.

However I was targeted by a male criminal at this event who upon our first meeting told me he had just left prison for DV. Obviously I was concerned.

I reported this to staff yet nothing was done and yet he attended socials still. I didn't feel listened to or heard. I wasn't informed about their safeguarding procedures for situations like this after reporting it.

Having worked in safeguarding I'm absolutely shocked. It's a real shame as I'm Christian and enjoyed attending services. Especially listening to the beautiful choir and echoes in the building.

Christian women need to be protected at all costs and kept safe too. People's safety should not be jepodardised. Yes we are all forgiven in god's grace and Christ yet we need a level of accountability and safety also.

I had to seek another church and community. Many people victimised me for speaking out about it and my testimony of being sent back where I had a full NDE was also deleted.

I do wish everyone in service there well but I hope that safety and protection of women and children can be looked at urgently.

Thank you 🙏🏻
