Bishop of Newcastle Helen-Ann Hartley has previously called for Stephen Cottrell to resign.

Stephen Cottrell, the Archbishop of York, has faced calls to resign over his handling of a sexual abuse case involving a priest.

Stephen Cottrell said a BBC investigation into his handling of a sex abuse case was 're-traumatising' victims.

The Archbishop of Canterbury apologises for causing "further distress" to survivors of the scandal.

The leader of the Church of England announced in November that he would resign over the Church's handling of an abuse scandal.

Helen Ann-Hartley was the most senior member of the clergy to suggest the former Archbishop of Canterbury go over abuse failings.

Justin Welby will conduct few public engagements before completing his official duties in January.

The Bishop of Salisbury says safeguarding must now be 'front and centre' for the Church of England.
