According to a report published by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, the Church of England failed to protect children and young people from sexual predators for decades. The report says the church preferred safeguarding its own reputation over protecting children. The church has been accused of "facilitating a culture where perpetrators could hide and victims faced barriers to disclosure that many could not overcome."
