A criminal investigation is underway into safeguarding failures within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI). The PSNI said it was not aware of the potential scale of the issues until last week. The probe was launched following revelations of serious and significant failings spanning 2009 to 2022. Those failings prompted Dr Rev Trevor Gribben to resign as Moderator. The investigation will examine institutional safeguarding arrangements and past responses to allegations. The launch of the criminal probe signals a shift from internal review to law-enforcement scrutiny and may lead to further actions depending on findings.
