INEQE Safeguarding Group have been commissioned to conduct Independent Safeguarding Audits of the Church of England to make sure dioceses and cathedrals are doing all they can to create environments where everyone feels safe, valued and respected. Our diocese will be audited from 30th September.

As part of the audit , INEQE hope to engage with people involved in the life of the Diocese of Chichester and Chichester Cathedral through an online survey. The survey will act as a mechanism through which individuals can comment on any matters relevant to the audit’s focus.

The survey is both anonymous (INEQE are not seeking to identify you) and confidential (you will not be identified). Survey responses are collected and analysed by INEQE, not by either the Diocese of Chichester or Chichester Cathedral. We would ask you to be open and honest with your responses.

Please share this survey. It is really important that as many people as possible complete the survey, so that INEQE can get as accurate a picture as possible, so that they can make recommendations that will assist the Diocese and Cathedral to continue to improve our safeguarding practice and provision.
