ARCHDIOCESAN REVIEW BOARD

Since 1990, the Archdiocese of Seattle has had a process in place to address issues of clergy sexual misconduct and abuse of minors, and to assist the Archbishop in assessing the suitability for ministry of those accused.  Since that time, the Archdiocese also has had a process through which allegations are made and pastoral care and assistance are offered to those who make them.

The Archdiocesan Review Board assists the Archbishop in accordance with Church law, the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People and the Essential Norms for Diocesan Policies Dealing with Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests or Deacons and locally established church policies.  The board operates as a confidential consultative body that advises the Archbishop regarding his responsibilities related to clergy sexual abuse of minors and assisting him in assessing allegations and fitness for ministry.
