"Freedom of speech and freedom of going where you want to go and travelling where you want to go is being stamped out," she said.

"This sends the wrong message to the public and not only does it bring the whole profession into disrepute, it is an insult to the thousands of dedicated teachers and leaders who go above and beyond for their learners, their schools and the communities they serve."To enforce something like this insinuates all teachers and leaders cannot be trusted, and our learners are not safe in their care. That is simply not true and grossly unfair to the profession.

"Asking them to swear an oath promising not to abuse children will achieve nothing and risks undermining the trust between teachers, school leaders, and families."North Wales Safeguarding Board is currently conducting a child practice review following Foden's sentencing, which local authority Cyngor Gwynedd has pledged to co-operate fully with.It was described by the board's chair as a "vital step in protecting vulnerable children in north Wales".

But critics expressed concern that it would not go far enough.Ms Healey, a Labour councillor who sits on Flintshire's education scrutiny committee, said current safeguarding measures needed improving.

She said the council acknowledged that there were still cases of child abuse by teaching professionals and cases of teachers forming inappropriate relationship with pupils and students who they were responsible for.

This happened despite safeguarding training taking place, as well as the code of professional conduct and practice established by the Education Workforce Council in Wales."There is a sense that in the voice of the pope, there's a voice of something that is needed," says Cardinal Nichols. "For some people it's a moral compass, for some people it's the sense of being accepted, for some people it's the insistence that we must look at things from the point of view of the poorest.

"That's a voice that has fallen silent and our task is to find someone who can carry that forward."From the death of Pope Francis to the moment cardinals checked into the Santa Marta guesthouse and its overflow residences, there appeared to be a trend towards a desire for continuity of what Pope Francis had achieved.

Though perhaps that vision of continuity is one that could bring along more of his sceptics, in a way that was pragmatic. The word "unity" has been talked of a lot, after a period where the divides between supporters and detractors of the Pope's vision could sometimes become ugly.But in the end, when they step into the Sistine Chapel, the holiest of voting chambers, for all the pragmatism they may have taken into consideration before they cast their ballot, they will be urged to let God and the Holy Spirit guide them.
