September 2020 : Interim report and executive summary
Early in 2020 the ELS established a Working Party, under the leadership of Peter Collier QC, to review the operation of the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003.
The Interim Report scoped out the issues to be addressed and gave a comprehensive historical and legal context, along with an indication of direction of travel for reform. The Executive Summary provided orientation and introduction to the larger report.
The December 2020 consultation asked a range of further questions drilling down more deeply into the detail. The Lambeth Working Group brought forward proposals at about the same time and they are compared side by side here

The ELS final report with detailed proposals was published in February 2021. As this is a long read, it was supplemented in May 2021 with a 2 page summary outline.
