The discussions at its annual meeting in Southport come after the publication in May of an independent review of past safeguarding cases related to the Church from 1950 to 2014. The report led to Church leaders offering an "unreserved apology" for the abuse of almost 2,000 adults.
Their abuse included physical, emotional, domestic and sexual abuse as well as cases of neglect. In approximately one quarter of these cases, church ministers or lay employees were identified as the perpetrators or alleged perpetrators.
The Conference discussed those findings and agreed to put forward a team to take on the recommendations given in the report. The group will be chaired by Revd Gwyneth Owen and will include former Barnardo's Deputy Chief Executive Jane Stacey, who led the independent review.
"The Past Cases Review has undoubtedly been a wake-up call for the Church, and one we cannot ignore" said Revd Owen. "The recommendations of the report are many and wide-ranging but at the heart of it all lies the need to bring about significant cultural change.
"Safeguarding is not just something that is done by specialists. It cannot be reduced to criminal records checks and staff training programmes.
"Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and each one of us has a duty to do what we can to make the Church a safe place for everyone."
The recommendations which will be looked at include better record keeping, a formal code of conduct for ministers as well as a review of all current safeguarding training materials.
Addressing the Conference, General Secretary the Revd Dr Martyn Atkins reiterated the Church's apology. He said: "It is essential that we recognise the failings of the past.
"However, without a commitment to change and the willingness to take the hard steps to achieve that change, we know that an apology alone could never be enough.
"This is the challenge that lies before the Church today and will be a continuing challenge for us for many years to come."
