Description

A critical report exposes a culture of indifference at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, Northern Irelands largest church. The investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior by a senior leader, WMT four, reveals multiple incidents, including touching a young man inappropriately. The report also highlights other concerning allegations and recommends urgent improvements to the churchs child protection policy. Despite the churchs claims of implementing changes, several safeguarding officers resign due to perceived leadership failures, damaging trust and governance. The police are now investigating three non-recent sexual assault reports connected to the church.
