The Big Summer Safeguarding Survey Update

The Big Summer Safeguarding Survey Update

Over a thousand people responded to the safeguarding consultation this summer. Bishop Julie says thank you and has an update on the next steps.


In her thank you message, Bishop Julie explains that over a thousand people took part in the survey this summer, a key element of the independent safeguarding audit here in the Diocese of Chester.


During October, there will be a series of focus groups and interviews. In November, we'll be visited by the INEQE auditing team and there will be more conversations.


We expect to receive the results of the audit in early 2026.


Thanks to everyone who took part.
