The Church of England is investigating claims that the personal data of almost 200 abuse survivors was breached. An official reportedly failed to conceal the contact details of applicants to a compensation scheme in an email, leaving unredacted names, email addresses and personal data visible to other recipients, according to Channel 4 News. The General Synod, the Church's governing body, voted to introduce the redress scheme earlier this year in response to a string of abuse scandals. The incident raises urgent concerns about data handling, confidentiality, survivor protection, and potential regulatory or safeguarding failures during the redress process.
