.@bbcr4sunday : #IICSA @c_of-e hearing. Phil Johnson with Bishops Wilson + Sowerby, who mistakenly believes @c_of_e has #MR but resists statutory #MR being introduced. Why?

Mark Sowerby's almost total non appreciation of the Church's current safeguarding position on reporting abuse reveals the desire to cling to the wreckage of the status quo. Until the culture changer of statutory #MR is introduced to all Regulated Activities including the Church,  it will retains its well earned status as a 'basket case' - a term used by Mark Warner to describe safeguarding in the diocese when he became Bishop.
