The Bishop of Manchester has argued for churches to be exempted from the new "duty to report" child sex abuse. He needn't have worried, under the new bill nobody can force them to report. The new duty is useless, in practice any organisation can be exempt mandatenow.org.uk/churches-will-…



Sonia Sodha Richard Scorer There are a number of things which ought not to be true but which are. 1/ the IICSA public inquiry issued its final report in October 2022. It made 20 recommendations.

Keir Starmer Yvette Cooper Jess Phillips Catherine Fookes MP Alex Davies-Jones MP Given the recent comments by Lucy Powell MP maybe you could all explain why you are not supporting all 20 recommendations of the IICSA in full and why on earth is mandatory reporting not made a criminal





Malcolm Johnson margaret moore On mandatory reporting it’s much worse than your article suggests. The only person who can refer a non-reporter to the DBS is their employer - who has an interest in abuse not being reported! And they don’t have to (actually can’t) refer unless they sack or move the person first.

Malcolm Johnson margaret moore If you want to see the deliberate and comprehensive uselessness of the MR measure, take a look at the Mandate Now submission to the Joint Human Rights Committee. committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

Robbie Moore MP The Survivors Trust That’s the second promise about an IICSA recommendation they have reneged on. In January, Yvette Cooper said in Parliament that all 4 of the IICSA recommendations directed at the Home Office had been accepted “in full”. One of those was mandatory reporting of child sex abuse.

margaret moore LOUDfenceUK Mail Online If the headteacher let him resign and took no further action, then they probably committed an offence under Section 38 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 because they did not refer him to the DBS. But nobody has ever been prosecuted for breaking that particular law.

Robbie Moore MP Theresa May made exactly the same mistake. The child sex abuse inquiry was originally going to be a non-statutory on the Hillsborough model. After a year it was restarted as a statutory inquiry. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
