Ed Davey Urges Welsh Lib Dem Leader to Reconsider Position Over Abuse Case Handling

Jane Dodds faces calls for reflection after a report criticizes her past actions in a Church of England abuse case.

Jane Dodds, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, is under scrutiny for not organizing a crucial meeting regarding abuse allegations against former Bishop of Chester, Hubert Victor Whitsey.
A 2021 report highlighted Dodds' 'grave error of judgement' in handling the case, which has resurfaced following the resignation of Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
Sir Ed Davey, UK Liberal Democrats leader, expressed that Dodds needs to 'reflect carefully' on her responsibilities and consider further actions.
Despite the criticism, Dodds maintains the confidence of the Welsh Board and intends to continue in her leadership role.
The Welsh Conservatives have questioned Dodds' ability to lead, suggesting she assess whether her actions put individuals at risk.
