PARISH DASHBOARD
The Parish Dashboard is an online tool, funded by the diocese, to help parishes manage their safeguarding responsibilities. It stays fully aligned with the latest Church of England policies and procedures.
Key features include:
- A clear, at‑a‑glance overview of a church’s safeguarding status
- Straightforward explanations of required actions
- Automatically generated action plans and reports for PCC meetings
- Helpful guidance with links to relevant safeguarding information and resources
The use of the Parish Dashboard is mandatory for all parishes. If you need support with your parish dashboard, please contact emma.lambert@chichester.anglican.org

SAFEGUARDING HUBS
The Safeguarding Hub is an online tool, funded by the diocese, to support parishes with safer recruitment and people‑management responsibilities.

- Creating role descriptions and person specifications
- Tracking the safer‑recruitment process for new volunteers and employees
The Safeguarding Hub makes it easy to see which actions are outstanding, in progress, or completed. It can also generate helpful reports to support ongoing oversight. Its use is recommended but not required.
