The church that became a cathedral... For the town that became a city. Built in 1715 as the new parish church “on the hill”, St Philip’s is a rare and fine example of elegant English Baroque architecture. It is Grade 1 listed and one of the oldest buildings in the city still used for its original purpose. Fascinating both inside and out, the cathedral is home to some remarkable treasures (not leas

t the inspiring stained-glass windows designed by Edward Burne-Jones) and amazing stories, all set amongst the daily rhythm of people criss-crossing this unique part of the city. The Cathedral Church of St Philip Birmingham is a registered charity (1206485) in England and Wales. Our registered office address is Colmore Row, Birmingham, B3 2QB.

Recognise. Respond. Record. Refer.

If someone shares a safeguarding concern with you, even if you’re not a leader in a church space or safeguarding professional, your response can make a profound difference. Use the 4Rs approach to support anyone who comes to you with a safeguarding concern:

🔹 Recognise: Be alert to the signs or disclosures of abuse.
🔹 Respond: Listen carefully, remain calm and allow the person to speak at their own pace. Do not investigate or ask leading questions.
🔹 Record: Make a written record of the concern as soon as possible, including what was said, who is involved and relevant details. Records must be signed, timed and dated.
🔹 Refer: Safeguarding concerns must be referred promptly to the Safeguarding Officer and relevant authorities. If there is immediate risk of harm, contact emergency services without delay.

Always take concerns seriously. Even non-recent abuse must be reported.

We are supporting the Church of England's safeguarding campaign "It's Not Just Policy, It's Personal." For more information, please visit https://birminghamcathedral.com/safeguarding.

It's Not Just Policy, It's Personal

From 1–14 June, we are supporting the Church of England's national safeguarding campaign "It's Not Just Policy, It's Personal."

This campaign aims to raise awareness of how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns. Over the next two weeks, we are sharing resources in the cathedral and on our website designed to build confidence in responding and taking appropriate action. You can find the resources online at https://birminghamcathedral.com/safeguarding/ or check out our notice boards.
