For many people, Taizé is a place of trust. The brothers of the community, the sisters of St Andrew and the Ursuline sisters, as well as the volunteers [1] and all who are associated in the running of the meetings [2], are committed to making Taizé a safer place for all who visit, especially the under 18s [3], young people [4] and vulnerable adults [5].
At the same time, everyone’s vigilance is important so that Taizé can remain a safe space for all.
