The President of Tribunals has dismissed a complaint against the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally. Reviewing the complaint following an appeal, Sir Stephen Males upheld the original determination by the Archbishop of York and concluded that it was a vexatious complaint which ought not to have been brought.

Archbishop Sarah said: “I welcome the independent scrutiny that the President of Tribunals has brought to this case.

“I also echo his disappointment over the original delay in handling this complaint, and the impact that this has had on N. I am committed to ensuring that our processes are robust, effective and supportive for all involved in complaints.

“I remain committed to listening to the voices of victims and survivors, and the work being done towards building an even safer church.”
