The Bishop of Doncaster, The Reverend Leah Vasey-Saunders : Safeguarding Failure.

( 2019/2020 )
Warning

A whistleblower tells a story of multiple failures to comply with The Bishop's Guidance.
The failures bring disrepute onto Wakefield Cathedral and All Saints Church, Pontefract.
Actions by The Bishop of Doncaster, The Reverend Leah Vasey-Saunders. Former Canon Precentor at Wakefield Cathedral. ( September 2019 ) Former Vicar of Lancaster, Lancaster Priory( September 2021 ) Leah Vasey-Saunders believes the woman, makes no verification effort beyond my attacker's circle of friends. She fails to follow the legally required "Bishop's Guidance" on Safeguarding. I hear nothing from Leah Vasey-Saunders. I was never given opportunity to answer the allegations. Even though she knew in her heart that something was wrong. In February 2020 I am excluded from ringing at Wakefield Cathedral. The stress and defamation she started still continues. All the "Safeguarding" recording and compliance, a complete waste of time and effort.
