The Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE) and the Spanish Conference of Religious (Confer) have presented a guide and a form that allow victims of sexual abuse
prescribed within the Church to request comprehensive reparation. This mechanism is part of the institutional commitment to address this problem
and is available through the 'Para Dar Luz' portal, an initiative of the Spanish Church to combat the scourge of abuse.

According to Servimedia, the form can be sent by email or post. Each case will be evaluated by the Comprehensive Reparation Advisory Committee, made up of legal, therapeutic, clinical and restorative professionals. The published guide establishes that the deadline for issuing a reparation opinion, once the documentation studies have begun, will be three months .
