Make a Disclosure

A disclosure is when a person shares personal, sensitive, or significant information with a church leader or trusted member, often to seek help, support, or guidance.

Key points
  • Voluntary sharing of personal experiences, concerns, or issues
  • Often involves sensitive topics (e.g. wellbeing, abuse, struggles, wrongdoing)
  • Made within a trusted and pastoral relationship
  • May require confidential handling
  • Some disclosures must be reported in line with safeguarding and legal obligations

Please note: if your disclosure is about child abuse or imminent risk of child please report to your local child protection service.
