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.
