The Future of Church Safeguarding Report by Professor Alexis Jay CBE on improving Church of England safeguarding recommends establishing two new independent charities – one to deliver operational safeguarding and one to provide scrutiny.
Her report also recommends the General Synod passes a Measure requiring the Church to refer all safeguarding matters to these independent bodies and to implement all the decisions of these bodies.
The welfare and well-being of people who participated in the Future of Church Safeguarding Programme was very important to us.
Participants were welcome to tell us as little or as much as they liked during their engagement with the Programme. Any information shared with us remained confidential and was anonymised before being used so there has been no risk of participants or anyone else being identified.
More details about our process for safeguarding the welfare of participants, which was not linked to the Church of England, is available here.
