Call for Information and Listening Exercise

The Diocese of St Albans has now issued a final call for safeguarding information in relation to the listening exercise for St Andrew’s, Chorleywood which was launched on 26th January. The exercise concerns potential allegations of abuse from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The Diocese is now reminding the public that the exercise will conclude on Friday 29th May 2026. See Final call for information in St Andrew’s Chorleywood listening exercise - The Diocese of St Albans.

This exercise is being led by our diocese and is being carried out with the full support of St Andrew’s.

St Andrew’s takes safeguarding of children and adults very seriously and believes its current arrangements to be robust and thorough. However, where there may have been shortcomings in the past, we are keen to identify those and to ensure that any survivors receive the support they may require.
