"From the Foreword by Ecclesiastical Insurance: ""This publication will be invaluable to all those who have responsibility for the care, not just of the fabric of places of worship, but also for the safety of those who worship in them, visit them, and work in them as employees or volunteers. � As the leading faith insurer in the UK, Ecclesiastical strongly recommend that all those with responsibility for places of worship follow this guidance."""
