The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard is a simple-to-use online tool, that helps Parish Safeguarding Officers and PCC’s to keep track of safeguarding within their parish.  The Dashboard links to Church of England safeguarding policies, guidance and local templates.   Downloadable Parish Safeguarding Action Plans help PCC’s to monitor safeguarding arrangements within their parish and replace the annual parish safeguarding self-audit process.

For information on getting started with the Dashboard, tutorials and FAQ’s, please visit the Safeguarding Dashboards website.

Use the Parish Dashboard link to access your Dashboard.
