In response to today’s release of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse’s report on child protection in religious organisations and settings, Marie van der Zyl, President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said:
“The Board of Deputies welcomes the ‘Child protection in religious organisations and settings – Investigation Report’ from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. It is a serious and thorough review, making for very sobering reading in parts, and the Board of Deputies is examining it in detail to understand what lessons need to be learnt.”
