Safeguarding at the Rostock meeting

Since the end of October 2022, Taizé has been in touch with the local Churches in Rostock to set up a safeguarding policy for the European Meeting.

The integrity of young adults taking part in the meeting, hosts and everyone involved must be respected and the European meeting be a safe place for all.

This portal page gives you links to pages concerning the safeguarding policy, reporting procedures and important contacts.
