C of E staff subjected to ‘horrific abuse and bullying’, says safeguarding official

Alexander Kubeyinje makes claims of abuse on staff, including death threats, in paper for General Synod

Church of England officials have been subjected to “horrific abuse and bullying”, including death threats, from a small number of survivors of sexual abuse and people with safeguarding concerns, an official church document says.

The claims come from the C of E’s national director of safeguarding, Alexander Kubeyinje, in a paper for the church’s legislative body, the General Synod, which meets next month.
