Statement from National Safeguarding Team
BBC Panorama this Monday (April 29) will feature interviews with survivors of church-related abuse in a programme entitled 'Scandal in the Church of England'. We have worked with the producers to provide information and a response to the range of issues raised, particularly around the Past Cases Review. There will be a personal response from Bishop Peter Hancock, the Church's lead safeguarding bishop, once the programme has been aired. Bishop Peter has also been interviewed for the programme.
