Peter Saunders Resigns

It is with regret the NAPAC Board of Trustees has suspended Pete Saunders from his role as Founder and Spokesperson with immediate effect. This period of suspension will allow a process of investigation into the issues raised by a story published on 25 August 2019 regarding an incident in 2008.

We will share updates on the outcomes of this process. NAPAC is committed to continuously improving our governance and practices, and the valuable work we do in supporting victims and survivors of childhood abuse remains unchanged.

NAPAC has a history of hypocracy. When the new CEO was appointed there was a purge of survivors from the organisation as well as a refusal to carry out investigations into allegations of Homophobic abuse by a senior manager against a gay volunteer survivor. NAPAC which is largely funded by the Roman Catholic Church has been accused of turning a blind eye when it is convenient ie when funding is available and cut their cloth according to jobs for the in group rather than empowering survivors. Shame on them.
