Channel 4 News this evening (November 14) reported incorrectly that victims of John Smyth 'won't receive financial compensation' from the Church of England's redress scheme.
The redress scheme will be run independently of the Church, and it is therefore not for the Church to determine who will and will not receive redress. That does not mean that John Smyth's victims will not receive redress.
