abstract = "This article concerns child sexual abuse in the Anglican Church of Australia and the Church of England and, in particular, an integrity system to combat this problem and the ethical problems it gives rise to. The article relies on the findings of various commissions of inquiry to determine the nature and extent of child sexual abuse in the Anglican Church. The two salient ethical problems identified are: (1) design of safety measures in the light of the statistical preponderance of male on male sexuality; (2) justice issues arising from redress schemes established or proposed to provide redress to victims.",

note = "Funding Information: According to research funded by the Australian inquiry, ACCSA, there has been a decline in child sexual abuse in the Anglican Church in Australia over the past 15–20 years. This is supported by the data collected from the Anglican Church in Australia. Moreover, it is consistent with the available figures for child sexual abuse in the Anglican Church in the UK that have been released by the IICSA and, for that matter, other churches, that have been the subject of inquiries into child sexual abuse, more generally. For instance, according to the John Jay Inquiry in the USA, {\textquoteleft}The “crisis” of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests in the USA is a historical problem. The count of incidents per year increased steadily from the mid-1960s through the late 1970s, then declined in the 1980s and continues to remain low.{\textquoteright} Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} The Author(s), 2021.
