Ministerial Development Review

This page is intended to support those responsible for, or involved in the implementation of, Ministerial Development Review (MDR) schemes in their dioceses.

Regulation 18 of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Regulations 2009 sets out the requirements for provision and participation in MDR. In 2010 the Archbishops' Council issued advice under this regulation to support diocesan provision. Both the regulation and the advice can be found in the 'Resources' box on this page. MDR practice in dioceses pre-dates Regulation 18 and details of previous reports and guidance can also be found here.

Dr Tim Ling, National Adviser for Continuing Ministerial Development, supports dioceses with the dissemination of models of good practice, the review of their provision, and with Karen West, Archbishops' Adviser for Bishops' Ministry provides consultancy and training opportunities.
