A safeguarding conference bringing survivors of spiritual and ritual abuse together with safeguarding professionals from across the United Kingdom.

In 2011 the National Working Group against Spritual and Ritual Abuse, (NWG SARA), originally called ‘child abuse linked to faith or belief’, was created by Parliament as a way to bring organisations together to share best practise and learning along with safeguarding children and adults from this form of abuse. The NWG now includes almost seventy national organisations from the UK and abroad, all working together to create greater awareness of this abuse.

In the last 6 years the UK has seen a 43% increase in reports of SARA in children alone, making this subject vitally important to professioanls so they can safeguard others.
