SAFEGUARDING: External Review of Our Diocese Our Diocese of Paisley is issuing an extraordinary appeal during the month of June 2022 to anyone who may have been affected by any kind of abuse at the hands of clergy or church officials.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is conducting an external review of the Diocese and wants to hear from people with first-hand experience of how the Diocese has responded to reports of abuse.

Anyone who may wish to report on their experience should contact SCIE directly by email at

learningtogether@scie.org.uk

or by phone on 07921 251614. 

SCIE will then get in touch to arrange a time to report to the auditors in a way that suits each individual. Visit

for more information and to see the letter from SCIE Learning Together, requesting help with the independent review.
