I think I understand all of that. Forgetting being political for a moment, and just thinking, say, as a parent with a child in an organisation, if I became aware that there were allegations that people who worked and still work in that organisation who, potentially for many decades, turned a blind eye to abuse, would I feel my child is not at risk because the perpetrator of the abuse is not in that organisation? I would say, “No”. I would still think my child is at risk if child protection is not the main priority of the individuals still employed within the organisation.
