The second Safe as Churches? Consultation was held from the 8th to the 10th of September 2005.
The emphasis of this Consultation was not on institutions, risk management, or finances. The focus was on what happens to people – those who have been abused, those who have been accused of abuse, and those who have admitted to being abusers. How have we responded? How can we respond more effectively to facilitate justice and healing for the abused, and to provide support and accountability for abusers? *
