Nolan Report (Catholic Church)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nolan Report is a report published in 2001 by Lord Nolan on the problem of clerical child abuse.[1]

In 2000, at the request of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, he investigated the issue of paedophile priests and child protection in the Catholic Church in England and Wales.[2]

As a result of this report, the Catholic Church in England and Wales formed an agency called COPCA () to centrally manage CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) applications.[3][4]

His Vice-Chairman on the committee was a fellow Old Amplefordian, Sir Swinton Thomas.[5]
