We offer a heartfelt apology to anyone who has suffered abuse by monks, staff or volunteers of Ampleforth Abbey.

Every day we learn from our past to ensure that the horrific abuse that took place here is recognised and that the changes we make will prevent these terrible events from happening again.

The document in the Downloads Section below sets out some of the improvements we have made over the last three years as assurance of our commitment to real and lasting change.

 

Rt Rev Robert Igo OSB, Abbot of Ampleforth Abbey, has released a statement on our safeguarding improvements following the IICSA reports.
