Thank you to everyone across the Diocese of Chester who took part in the recent INEQE audit. Your contributions—sharing your views and experiences— will be invaluable in making this process both robust and fair.

We are pleased to announce that Sean Augustin and Lynn Everton have been officially certified as Diocesan Safeguarding officer and Deputy officer respectively. These are a more senior role to the Advisor role they previously held. 

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