Safeguarding Parish Dashboard

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. 

 Please contact Donna Brown by email or on 07436 220861 for any queries in relation to the Dashboard. We are here to help and support you.
