St Ebbe’s safeguarding review commissioned

St Ebbe's Church.

An independent review into past and present safeguarding culture and practice at St Ebbe’s Church, Oxford has been commissioned following allegations against the late David Fletcher.

Fletcher was rector from 1986 until 1998, after which he remained at the church until he died in 2022. The allegations, including sexual assault and coercion, first came to light in February this year and more women have come forward since.

Christian Safeguarding Services (CSS) is carrying out the review and it will not be restricted to matters relating to Fletcher.
