A further update from the National Safeguarding Team, NST, has been provided to victims and survivors of the abhorrent abuse of the late John Smyth.

The Archbishops’ Council has voted unanimously that a proposal on interim independent oversight of the National Safeguarding Team is to be put in place before February Synod (2021) to pave the way for full independent oversight, by February Synod 2022. Both the Archbishops’ Council and the House of Bishops have already endorsed the principle of independence for the Church’s safeguarding work.

The Commission is pleased to share its April update of activities, meetings and news.
