Parish Data Request

Calling all churchwardens and other officers who have taken on roles this year
We are continuing our survey of parish officer holders in order to collect consistent information about the age, sex, gender identity, ethnic group or background, and disability information of people in these roles. To see a summary of what we’ve collected so far, here’s a link to a report of our main findings.
In the next few weeks, our Strategy Team will be getting in touch with churchwardens and other officers who have taken on roles this year.
Â
This sort of data is really useful for equality, accessibility and diversity monitoring, and to help us target specific communications. It also helps in our strategic planning, as it enables us to plan and manage recruitment, training and deployment of some of our most important leadership resources.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact Jon and the team: jon.pocock@chester.anglican.org.
