In September 2021 the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) completed its thematic review of child protection arrangements in religious organisations and settings.
Reverend Lynn Green, General Secretary of the Baptist Union says, "As part of our continuing progress towards excellence in safeguarding, the Baptist Union of Great Britain chose to be a core participant recognising that independent scrutiny by the inquiry panel would provide evaluation and feedback of our policies, procedures and safeguarding practices across our member organisations in England and Wales."
"With more than 100,000 children and young people attending our churches and community activities each week, we endorse the main recommendations of the report.
