The Archbishop of Canterbury apologised to a woman whose complaint of abuse was apparently not taken seriously enough.
Justin Welby said: “I wish to add my own personal apologies to the young woman who was so badly let down.”
Anglican Dean of Jersey, the Very Reverend Bob Key, was suspended over concerns about his handling of the complaint.
The Bishop of Winchester, Tim Dakin, withdrew Mr Key’s commission following the publication of a diocesan report.
The Safeguarding Panel found there were failures in the implementation of policies in relation to a complaint by a vulnerable adult parishioner in 2008.
