AN INQUIRY into the handling of allegations of child abuse by a former senior clergyman is appealing for help to gather information.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu launched the independent inquiry into issues surrounding reports that the late Dean of Manchester, Robert Waddington, groomed and abused a chorister in Manchester in the 1980s.
Chaired by Judge Sally Cahill QC, it is gathering evidence about what complaints were made about alleged abuse by Mr Waddington, what the church’s response was, whether child protection policies were implemented and other issues.
Anyone who may have relevant information is urged to get in touch.
