<p>In July 2016 the Rt Revd Paul Butler, Bishop of Durham and then lead bishop for
safeguarding, apologised unreservedly to all former residents who continue to be affected
by their experiences at Kendall House. The statement can be seen at <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/media-centre/news/2016/07/statement-on-kendall-house-review.aspx"

</p><p>The Church of England accepted the review and welcomed its recommendations.
The Church’s National Safeguarding Team will include those recommendations in their
autumn review and plan to publish an annual review in 2017, which will report on progress
made against them. Every diocese within the Church of England has received the report
and in line with the review’s findings are considering the implications of this for
their own diocesan safeguarding arrangements, past and present.</p><p> </p>
