On 27 June 2019, the Church of England agreed that those in regulated roles who have failed to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check or complete mandatory safeguarding training should not be allowed to continue in their voluntary role. The Church of England stated that leaders such as clergy who knowingly allow volunteers to remain in regulated roles without having fulfilled these requirements should be considered under Section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. The Church also stated that the National Safeguarding Team would review key pieces of guidance to ensure that this position is reflected clearly.
