RESPONSE TO THE MAKIN REVIEW
Following the publication of the Makin review into the horrific abuses committed by John Smyth, we are deeply saddened and distressed by the stories of young lives devastated, and the life-long impact John Smyth’s abuse has had on his many victims, compounded by the failure of many in the church to disclose.
At CPAS, we have been providing Christian residential holidays for children and young people for 100 years. Central to our mission is our commitment to the highest standards of safeguarding. We have strong systems and training in place to ensure that all leaders undergo thorough vetting, and all safeguarding disclosures are communicated appropriately.
Nevertheless, we can never be complacent. If you are aware of any concerns about safeguarding on a CPAS Venture or Falcon holiday, please contact us via safeguarding@cpas.org.uk.
