Mike Pilavachi DBS referral

The founder of Soul Survivor Watford has been referred to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) following a national safeguarding investigation that found he had engaged in inappropriate relationships and physical interactions with young individuals. The Church of England has confirmed that a referral has been made for Canon Rev Mike Pilavachi to be considered for the DBS barred lists, which prohibit individuals from working with vulnerable groups. The DBS will assess whether Pilavachi should be placed on either or both of the lists. Pilavachi resigned from his position as associate pastor of Soul Survivor Watford in July and stated that he would not comment further on the allegations, expressing his desire for the healing of the Church and seeking forgiveness from those he may have hurt. The DBS does not comment on individual cases.
