Scandal in the Church of England

BBC1 Panorama Special

Panorama investigates cases of child sexual abuse that were ignored for years by senior clergy in the Church of England. Reporter Jane Corbin meets survivors, speaking openly for the first time, and reveals how one diocese allowed abusers to evade justice for decades. She examines how the Church of England failed to investigate evidence it held about scores of people in its ranks and asks whether the Church has now learned the lessons of the past when dealing with more recent allegations of abuse.
