The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors and Ending Clergy Abuse (ECA) has concluded the first Rome Safeguarding Dialogues, held on 15–16 June 2026.
This landmark meeting brought together Commission members, survivors, and advocates in a structured dialogue focused on listening, accountability, and action. Discussions centred on strengthening safeguarding measures, promoting zero tolerance for abuse, and ensuring that victims’ and survivors’ lived experiences inform policy and practice.
Participants also committed to expanding protection beyond minors to all persons in vulnerable situations and to advancing global advocacy efforts for stronger safeguarding standards.
This is an important step toward a transparent, accountable, and safer Church worldwide—grounded in collaboration and concrete next steps.
Inside Safeguarding is the official podcast of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. Here we bring you monthly insights from global experts working to end abuse and promote a culture of accountability and care. For more information visit tutelaminorum.org
In the twelfth episode of Inside Safeguarding, William Roberts guides listeners through the latest developments from the Commission, as two major stories take centre stage: the publication of the Commission’s revised Statutes, approved by Pope Leo XIV for a three-year trial period, and the Commission’s first in-person meeting with Ending Clergy Abuse, held at Palazzo Maffei in Rome under the banner of the “Rome Safeguarding Dialogues.”
This episode also spans engagements in Myanmar, Tanzania, and across Africa, alongside participation in a global summit on child protection, where Commission staff and members have been working to strengthen safeguarding formation, research, and collaboration across the Church.
In conversation with Claudia Giampietro, canon lawyer, intercultural mediator, and the Commission’s Regional Expert for Europe, the discussion turns to the publication of the Commission’s new Statutes, exploring what the revisions mean for the Commission’s mandate and for the wider culture of safeguarding across local Churches.
Hosted by William Roberts, Inside Safeguarding brings you monthly conversations and reflections from those working at the forefront of safeguarding, following the ongoing effort to strengthen accountability, protection, and care across the Church.
