The Churches Child Protection Advisory Service is calling for a national strategy in dealing with child abuse claims in the wake of a report into sex allegations made against Jimmy Savile.
Chilling reports by the police and NSPCC into his abuse of children and adults reveal he committed more than 200 criminal offences, between 1955 and 2009.
It concluded Jimmy Savile targeted children as young as eight during six decades of abuse.
It descibed the former TV star as an opportunistic individual who used celebrity status to 'coerce and control' and that he targeted people in hospitals, mental care establishments and even a hospice.
The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer has apologised for what he says were "the shortcomings" of the CPS in these case and has also admitted Savile should have been prosecuted three years ago.
He's announced changes to the way abuse claims are dealt with by the police and prosecutors.
Simon Bass is the Chief Executive of the Churches child Protection Advisory Service.
He told Premier's Des Busteed during the News Hour that too much importance is also given to celebrities, which has to change:
The Met Police and NSPCC outlined offences at 13 hospitals, including Great Ormond Street in London and Wheatfields Hospice in Leeds.
The report also revealed 16 offences were committed at Leeds General Infirmary between 1965-1995 and 22 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital between 1965-88.
Last year the Stoke Mandeville Trust set up the independently monitored, Speaking Out Investigation.
It's Chief Executive Anne Eden said, "The investigation is serious and complex and is currently reviewing files and records from the last forty years before it moves on to meeting and hearing from witnesses.
"We expect it to complete the investigatory part of the work by the summer, and to complete the report by the end of 2013."
Caroline Moore was abused by Savile when she was a patient at Stoke Mandeville hospital in 1971.
She says she finds the total extent of his abuse absolutely 'staggering'.
She said: "It's so so shocking what has been allowed to happen here; to make it worse it was still going on in 2009. It's just awful."
Peter Watt from the NSPCC explains how Savile was never caught: "One of the key outcomes of the Operation Yewtree and the inquiry into the offences is that children were not taken seriously, and indeed not just children but also adults who had concerns about what Jimmy Savile was up to. They also were not taken seriously."
The BBC also says it is "appalled" that Jimmy Savile preyed on victims on its premises - and has again apologised to those affected.
The corporation has launched its own review of the culture and practices at the broadcaster during the years in which Savile worked there, between 1965 and 2006. It also undertook a separate investigation, the Pollard Review led by former Sky News executive Nick Pollard, which examined a shelved Newsnight report into Savile's abuse. Mr Pollard found that the decision to drop the story plunged the BBC into "chaos and confusion", revealing a corporation where "leadership and organisation seemed to be in short supply".
A BBC spokesperson said: "The police report into Jimmy Savile contains shocking revelations. As we have made clear, the BBC is appalled that some of the offences were committed on its premises.
"We would like to restate our sincere apology to the victims of these crimes. The BBC will continue to work with the police to help them investigate these matters.
"We have also set up the Dame Janet Smith Review to help us understand how these crimes could have been committed and how we can avoid them happening ever again."
The corporation has also faced criticism over a £450,000 pay-off given to former director-general George Entwistle, who resigned after just 54 days in the job as a result of his handling of the fall-out from the Savile crisis.
Savile died aged 84 in October 2011, a year before the allegations emerged in an ITV documentary.
