Once again Rochester Cathedral is marking a month-long season of Safeguarding this year, in which we invite everyone to reflect on and promote the protection of children and vulnerable adults, here in Rochester and elsewhere.

Throughout November we will be hosting a LOUDFence installation at Rochester Cathedral. Members of the public can tie ribbons and messages of commitment to and solidarity for victims and survivors of abuse.

Loudfence is a visible display of support and solidarity for victim survivors of child sexual abuse. The ribbons tied to railings and fences represent the voices of those who wish to express their support for children and young people who have been subjected to injury by child sexual abuse and for those who are dealing with the consequences for themselves and others.
