慈善委员会向英格兰大主教慈善教会——利贝尔普尔和切尔姆斯福德迪奥塞桑财政委员会发出了有史以来第一次正式警告,警告它们未能妥善处理对前主教约翰·佩伦巴拉斯的指控,他因声称受到性攻击和性骚扰而辞职。
The Charity Commission has issued its first-ever official warning to Church of England diocesan charities—Liverpool and Chelmsford Diocesan Boards of Finance—for failing to properly handle safeguarding allegations against former bishop John Perumbalath, who resigned amid claims of sexual assault and harassment.
监管机构发现,这两个慈善机构都缺乏适当程序,导致受托人不采取行动,因为受托人知道有严重的指控,包括延迟或未报告的事件和未调查的投诉。
The regulator found both charities lacked adequate procedures, leading to inaction by trustees who were aware of serious allegations, including delayed or unreported incidents and failure to investigate complaints.
利物浦董事会承认存在缺陷并道歉,注意到治理改革,而切尔姆斯福德董事会则认为警告不合比例,但承诺要改进。
The Liverpool board acknowledged shortcomings and apologized, noting governance reforms, while the Chelmsford board disputed the warning as disproportionate but committed to improvements.
该委员会将继续监测这两家慈善机构,以确保遵守保障标准。
The commission will continue monitoring both charities to ensure compliance with safeguarding standards.
