Welcome to the site of the Independent Inquiry that will look into events in the Focolare relating to cases of violence against minors by J.M.M., a former consecrated member of the Focolare, resident in France.
Work of the Independent Inquiry is now complete, see full report
The Focolare Movement has asked GCPS Consulting, an independent, specialist safeguarding body, to conduct the inquiry.
The main task of GCPS Consulting will be to listen to the victims and to gather further testimonies, as well as investigating whether there were any omissions, cover ups or silences on the part of those responsible for the Focolare Movement.
At the end of the investigation, the independent Body will make its final report public. The Inquiry is scheduled to begin in January 2021 and to report in December 2021.
The current plan is to start gathering the stories of victims/survivors in March 2021, once the Inquiry has been fully established.
