The NCMRG was established in the beginning of 2012 (on a pilot basis of 1 year) to ensure consistently high quality advice being available to key decision makers in the Church, when they are called upon to respond to safeguarding cases.
The advice focuses on the management of the investigation and assessment processes and may comment on the “fitness for ministry” of a respondent.
The panel is staffed by experienced people drawn from the areas of professional practice most relevant to the task.
It was agreed that this initiative would be evaluated after one year- see notification letter.
