Church needs to 'emphasise prevention'

The Church of England needs to take preventative measures to ensure "unsuitable" people do not get into positions of trust, Sir Roger Singleton said.

Singleton, who carried out a review into how abuse allegations were reported, told Today that the Church needs "improved guidance" on reporting allegations.

His report is due next month and is expected to be highly critical of how the Church recorded past allegations of abuse.
