Following the publication earlier today a “Review of Safeguarding
Protocols and Procedures” by a Commission chaired by the Very Rev Dr
Andrew McLellan, the Catholic Bishops of Scotland have welcomed the
report and accepted its recommendations in full.
The report comprises a detailed assessment of all aspects of Safeguarding within the church and can be viewed here: www.mclellancommission.co.uk In the report preface, Dr. McLellan notes: “The invitation to chair this Commission came from the Bishops’ Conference of the Catholic Church in Scotland. When I accepted it I made it clear that I did not feel that my first responsibility was to them. My first responsibility was, and has been through all our work, to those who have been harmed.“
