The Bishop of Dover and Bishop of Basingstoke are in Jersey today to get a better understanding of complaint procedures.

Both are on a pastoral visit organised by the Bishop of Winchester. The Bishops will stay at Government House and meet with local church leaders and island authorities from both Deaneries.

They plan to ease tensions within the church following months of disruption among church-goers.

The visit follows the suspension of Jersey's Dean earlier this year, for allegedly failing to properly handle an allegation of abuse.
