I bring to the attention of RAG members the following ‘Guidance on destruction of documents’ which the Goddard Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is issuing to leaders of religious bodies. This lists the categories of document that should be retained pending any requests from the Inquiry. The letter states further,
“I would be grateful if you could ensure a thorough search of all your paper files, all digital records, and all other information – however held – to ensure that everything of potential relevance to the Inquiry is retained.”
The guidance and covering letter is here
