[Safeguarding Investigation Moves to Next Phase – Diocese of Winchester]
The Diocese of Winchester has published details of how its investigation into the way Jersey’s Dean dealt with an abuse complaint will be carried out.
Dame Heather Steel, who was appointed to lead the investigation in May, will visit the island and make an appeal for fresh evidence.
A review of Dean Robert Key’s handling of the complaint led to his suspension by the diocese.
He was reinstated the following month after making an apology.
The findings of Dame Heather’s inquiry will be fed into another, wider review into safeguarding policies being undertaken by Bishop John Gladwin.
This will examine the way the diocese protects members of its congregation.
