Children: Protection
The question
To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, what recent steps the Church of England has taken to implement safeguarding policies.
Answered by Marsha De Cordova
Significant progress has been made since I last answered a question on this subject. All major Safeguarding Policies have been completely revised, or are being revised, as Statutory Codes of Practice. These Codes are co-produced with victims, survivor groups and safeguarding professionals. The next step is to create an easily accessible resource for parishes and create guides to support the work of our safeguarding officers and volunteers, who are doing excellent work across the country at parish and diocesan levels.
