UCCF investigation: Can Christian orgs be trusted to mark their own homework?

Two directors have been suspended from the organisation that oversees Christian Unions in the UK. Having read the statements, Tanya Marlow is concerned that UCCF's investigation may not be as independent as has been suggested. She believes a change of approach is needed

We’ve all been reading about Soul Survivor, but another situation is rumbling on in the background without fanfare. Two directors of UCCF (the university Christian Unions organisation) are currently suspended, pending investigation.

In December 2022 UCCF’s Trust Board quietly wrote to its supporters to tell them that they were investigating “various allegations” about Richard Cunningham (National Director) and Tim Rudge (Field Director).

The UCCF board had suspended these leaders in the interests of good practice while they found a lawyer to conduct an “independent investigation”.
