Diocese of Chichester Safeguarding

A collaborative network for Parish Safeguarding Officers that provides mutual support and shared resources in each deanery. 

The intention is for these groups to be peer‑led, offering a space to share experiences, challenges, and good practice. They are not intended for discussing individual situations or cases, which should always be referred to the diocesan safeguarding team.

Ideally, these gatherings would take place quarterly, either online or via Zoom—whatever works best for the group—and attendance would be entirely optional.

If PSOs are interested in attending a group, or starting one in their deanery, please see the details below.
