The Bishop of Winchester has issued a statement confirming he is “unable” to release the report into the Dean of Jersey’s suspension.

Tim Dakin said, following legal advice, he has agreed to comply with a request from an “interested party” not to publish Dame Heather Steel’s report.

The report by the former High Court Judge has investigated whether any disciplinary action should be taken against any member of the clergy.

It comes after Jersey’s Dean, Bob Key, was suspended in March for failing to properly investigate the treatment of a 26 year old disabled woman.
