C of E abuse
Nearly 400 people
in positions of trust
within the Church of England have been
convicted of sexual offences against children
since
the 1940s, a damning report has
found.
The

Inquiry

Sexual Abuse found the Church failed to
protect children and young people
from
sexual predators within its ranks and instead
created a culture where abusers could hide.
