Making life simpler for Incumbents, Parish Safeguarding Officers and PCCs
The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard is a simple to use, online tool that helps you keep track of safeguarding in your church and keeps you up-to-date with local and national changes in safeguarding requirements.
Every Parish in Newcastle Diocese is required to use the Safeguarding Parish Dashboard to track their safeguarding practise.
Safeguarding Parish Dashboards should be regularly updated and should not fall below 80% completion without prior discussion with the Diocesan Safeguarding Team regarding any issues.
The Dashboard has its own website with more information on how to get started, FAQs and tutorials - Safeguarding Dashboards
Use the following link to access your Safeguarding Parish Dashboard.
If you have any queries or would like support using the dashboard or hub, please do not hesitate to contact our Safeguarding Team on 01912704105 or safeguarding@newcastle.anglican.org.
