The Future of Church Safeguarding Programme has been set up to recommend a model for fully independent safeguarding within the Church of England. As part of the programme, the team will be gathering a range of views to help understand what needs to be improved, or what is already working well in the safeguarding processes. They also want to hear opinions about how to achieve a safeguarding body that is independent, fair and impartial. The programme operates entirely independently from the Church, and is being led by Professor Alexis Jay OBE, who previously chaired the Indpendant Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). She expects to complete her report for The Archbishops of Canterbury and York by the end of December, and will be publishing the report to ensure full transparency.
