Nolan Report (Catholic Church)


The Nolan Report is a report published in 2001 by Lord Nolan on the problem of clerical child abuse.
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.
As a result of this report, the Catholic Church in England and Wales formed an agency called COPCA to centrally manage CRB applications.
His Vice-Chairman on the committee was a fellow Old Amplefordian, Sir Swinton Thomas.
