National Review Board

The National Review Board (NRB) is an independent organization established by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2002. Its primary role is to oversee the Catholic Church's response to allegations of sexual abuse by clergy. The NRB reviews policies, ensures accountability, and promotes safe environments within the Church to protect children and vulnerable individuals. It also collaborates with bishops, provides resources for prevention, and conducts audits to assess how effectively the Church handles these serious issues, aiming to restore trust and uphold the dignity of everyone involved.
