‘I welcome the publication of the Church of England Past Cases Review (PCR2) Report and support the recommendations. The CofE Birmingham will continue in its commitment to listen to survivors and victims, to implement and develop robust safeguarding practices in all of the Church’s settings and seeking to have a lasting impact on the culture of CofE Birmingham.
Care for Survivors and a continuing programme of education and training, seeks to address and increase safeguarding skills and knowledge. I’m grateful for the determination and courage of Survivors, to all Safeguarding colleagues and for the oversight of the CofEB independent chair, for their dedication to the Review. I invite further engagement with this continuing profound and serious journey to ensure the Church is a safe space for all.’
The Rt. Revd David Urquhart
Bishop of Birmingham
