The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has been commissioned to undertake independent safeguarding audits of Church of England dioceses and cathedrals. The diocesan audits were completed in 2019 and the overview report is available here. The reports and action plans from individual diocesan and cathedral audits are linked below.
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the independent safeguarding audits of cathedrals were paused. An update about this is available here.
Other safeguarding reviews and reports are available here.
