Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on chaplaincy, including secular and humanist chaplaincy provision, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for jurisdiction specific detail, which a dedicated institutional source would need to settle.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on chaplaincy, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here narrowly for two dated, checkable institutional facts, Scotland's National Health Service chaplaincy service becoming explicitly generic from 2002 onward and the scale of professional chaplaincy in United States healthcare, and for its note that multi-faith, secular, generic and humanist chaplaincy are gaining ground particularly in healthcare and educational settings, rather than for any account of a single faith tradition's own chaplaincy.
