There is one week remaining for Catholic clergy in Scotland to take part in a short, confidential survey as part of the SCSSA's ongoing work to develop safeguarding training and resources that are genuinely supportive of ministry as it is lived day to day.  We want to listen carefully to clergy experience so we can understand what support is most helpful in practice. Clergy response to the survey will help to shape future training and resources that are useful and and easily accessible.

The survey contains 28 questions and should take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. Responses are confidential and will be received directly by Kinharvie, an organisational development charity supporting this work. Kinharvie will collate responses and provide the SCSSA with a summary of key themes. Individual responses will not be shared.  If, after completing the survey, you would like to make further relevant comments, please email Kinharvie by clicking here

Clergy who have not yet received a link to the online survey should contact their Diocesan Safeguarding office or Chancellor to obtain this.   Alternatively, you can email comms@scssa.org.uk.  N.B. The deadline for completion is 5pm on Friday, 6 March 2026.
