Complaint against incoming Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally dismissed
The Archbishop of York ruled no further action is needed after a 2020 complaint against Sarah Mullally, who pledges to improve safeguarding as she becomes archbishop.
- On Thursday Archbishop Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, issued a determination not to take further action on a Clergy Discipline Measure complaint filed in 2020 against Dame Sarah Mullally, incoming Archbishop of Canterbury.
- The 2020 complaint alleges mishandling by Survivor N, who claimed Dame Sarah Mullally, then Bishop of London, emailed the accused priest; Lambeth Palace said administrative errors prevented proper follow-up and Mullally was not informed.
- The complainant retains formal review and appeal rights, with the complaint against the priest still under review at Lambeth Palace and independent review available under Section 13.
- Dame Sarah will legally become the Church of England’s top bishop at St Paul’s Cathedral, London on January 28 and pledges to strengthen processes and support survivors as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury.
- The development follows other safeguarding controversies, including Justin Welby’s resignation last year over abuse cover-up, and the complaint against Dame Sarah Mullally was first reported publicly in December.
