Task Force for the Investigation of Cases of Sexual Abuse
It starts accepting reports on 20 September.
On 20 September 2026, the Task Force for the Investigation of Cases of Sexual Abuse committed by persons acting on behalf of the Church, established by the Church Synod, starts collecting case reports.
The Task Force’s mission is to create a safe and confidential space for those who have experienced sexual abuse or exploitation within the Church – whether during childhood, adolescence or adulthood. The aim is to hear testimonies, investigate reported cases and, where necessary, recommend appropriate psychological support for those affected.
Those who have experienced sexual abuse by a person acting on behalf of our Church may contact the Team directly. Reports are treated as confidential and may be made in writing, electronically or by calling the telephone number provided.
If you have experienced harm – you do not have to face it alone. You can come forward and be heard.
