Blatant disregard for Church’s child protection practices

On the first day of his audit of rhe Sacred Heart Missionaries, the head of the Church’s child protection watchdog yelled ‘stop’.

NBSCC chief executive Ian Elliott realised that there was no point in reviewing current child protection guidelines as a full investigation needed to begin immediately into past practice.

In less than 24 hours on the job, he had realised that there was a blatant disregard for the Church’s child protection rules within the order.
