Total failure ( September 2019 to March 2020 )

Initial Failures
The woman declared this to be a "Safeguarding issue".
Jenny Leccardi declared this NOT to be a "Safeguarding issue".
Total IMPUNITY. The Bishop's Guidance does not allow Jenny Leccardi to make that decision.
Failed to gather independent information.
Failed to verify the woman’s story.
Failed to be aware of the woman’s previous behaviour.
Failed to be aware of the woman’s health conditions.
Failed to communicate with the accused.

Listening failures
Failed to listen to The Police

and also......Read a letter sent by the Police to the accused

Failed to listen to peers
Failed to consider letters written by others.
Failed to verify the woman's story
Totally hoodwinked by the woman.

Advice failures
Failed to ensure The Archdeacon of Pontefract had true information.
Failed to pass on vital information
Allowed Peter Townley to make a libelous statement
The stress and defamation she started still continues.

The Police say:-
Safeguarding can not take anyone at their word no matter how much they trust you.
In law they would be criticized for taking you at your word should something go awry at a later date.
Yet the attacker is believed by Jenny Leccardi.

Totally ignored
Perhaps unaware these Regulations actually exist.

Using "Safeguarding" as a weapon
The Clergy are easily hoodwinked.
Make sure you get the seeds of doubt sown very early.

Sadly, this is never ending
Over 3 years on
The victimisation continues
Always a victim
Never a survivor
The Leaders of The CofE continue to perpetrate abuse

‘Safeguarding’ is of paramount importance to us.
Not only of young people and vulnerable adults but also of all users of the building.
If you have any concerns, they will be taken seriously, and dealt with swiftly, sensitively and in confidence.
