The Church’s Response Team that investigates claims of sex abuse will be overhauled by the end of the month, Times of Malta has learnt.

Apostolic Administrator Charles Scicluna yesterday confirmed new procedures to handle cases of abuse by priests were discussed last week in a meeting he had with the Response Team and Gozo Bishop Mario Grech.

“We are tweaking the new procedures to deal with these cases and this will include restructuring the Response Team,” Mgr Scicluna said.
