Abstract
Five years since the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse is an opportune time to look again at the National Persons of Concern Policy Framework, 2020 of the Uniting Church in Australia. In this paper, I argue that the “Theological Statement” that underpins the Framework is inadequate in light of emerging trauma-sensitive theological scholarship. In the spirit of “Reflections and Provocations,” I offer a reimagining of the “Theological Statement” and a preceding Confession and Commitment written through a trauma-sensitive theological lens.
