TOM Learning Process (May 2025)

Our Senior Episcopal Visitor to the TOM Community, Rt Rev Bishop Ric Thorpe has initiated a Learning process with the full support of the TOM Leadership team. This will be led by the Church of England National Safeguarding Team and Diocesan Safeguarding Officer as part of a review of the leadership and culture within the TOM community. This is being conducted from a desire to learn from past experience and to be proactive in ensuring TOM continues to develop a safe, caring culture where there is healthy and accountable leadership.

This process will involve multiple stakeholders including people from within the TOM community and those who may have been impacted whilst in the TOM community.

If you have any further questions about this Learning Process, please direct them to the TOM Secretary Gareth Irvine secretary@missionorder.org in the first instance.

If you have a safeguarding question or concern, you can contact us here.
