Clerical Child Abuse
That this Assembly notes that independent research findings and recommendations on clerical child abuse, commissioned by the Executive Office, were submitted to the First Minister and deputy First Minister in July 2025; expresses concern at the lack of engagement with victims and survivors since that time; pays tribute to the Survivors Reference Group and other campaigners for their work in raising awareness and sharing personal details of abuse in faith-based settings; and calls on the First Minister and deputy First Minister to publish the reports with the findings and recommendations, set out a funded and time-bound response, and to state their position on the reported recommendation for an independent public inquiry.
