The Roman Curia is examining a Universal Safeguarding Framework proposed by the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. Archbishop Thibault Verny of Chambéry told commission members during their autumn plenary assembly that Pope Francis received the proposal favorably.

Archbishop Verny stated that he and the commission's secretary submitted the text to the Pope for consideration following an agreement made during the commission's last assembly. The framework is currently being reviewed by the relevant departments within the Roman Curia.
