Review suggested a number of people who might have failed to act on concerns

Bishop says more senior clergy may need to resign

The review into abuse carried out by John Smyth suggested that a number of senior Church of England figures failed to act on concerns and disclosures about sadistic abuse. Since Justin Welby resigned as archbishop of Canterbury, a bishop, a member of the government and a number of survivors have said others should also consider their positions. This is what the report says about six serving and former C of E bishops, two of whom are now dead.
