Safeguarding & Governance Review
Safeguarding & Governance Review As you may be aware, in March of this year the INEQE Safeguarding Group was commissioned to conduct an independent review of PCI’s governance and safeguarding arrangements. Listening to and learning from individuals involved in the life, work and ministry of our church is an important element of this. Part of the review exercise is being undertaken through a number of online surveys. They have been produced by INEQE, and the Church centrally is strongly encouraging the widest possible participation from across our denomination. Details of how to take part can be found on posters that we have put up around the building. You will also find information on the PCI website. There are different surveys depending on your relationship with the Church and you are all asked to complete all the surveys that are relevant to you. Please consider taking part and engaging with this important process, and please also be aware that all contributions are anonymous and are submitted directly to INEQE (not to PCI). All contributions will be treated confidentially. The online surveys are live now, and will close on 21 September.
