Church Commissioners for England
Review of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011
Consultation privacy notice
Introduction
The Legislative Reform Committee of the Archbishop’s Council asked the Church Commissioners to review the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 and to present a consultation paper to the July 2021 session of the General Synod. The consultation paper was debated on Monday 12 July and a consultation period will run from 13 July to 15 September 2021 to gather views to inform new legislation. The questions from the consultation paper have been put into an online survey format.
This privacy notice sets out how the consultation process and survey will be managed and comply with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We expect that people will respond to the consultation on behalf of organisations, such as dioceses, or parish churches, but people will also be able to respond as individuals, either through the survey or by a dedicated e-mail address – [email protected].
The feedback from the consultation will be summarised and presented to Synod. It will be anonymised, so no-one will be identified individually. If there was a need to use any particular quotes they would either be anonymised, or the permission of a contributor would be sought before it was used publicly and would not be used if permission were refused.
This privacy notice is provided by the Pastoral and Closed Churches Team in the Church Commissioners.

- What information do we need to collect and how will we use your personal data?
The survey will ask people to provide the following personal information:
- Contact details – name and e-mail address and job title, so that we know which organisations and people have responded and can assess the level of support for proposals within the broad church community. We can also ask people if we have questions of clarification on comments in the submission to ensure accuracy.
- Personal information – we will ask people to identify if they are laity or clergy, and for details about age and gender. This is because we believe that views on the proposals will be influenced by these factors and it is important we understand those dynamics when crafting future policy and legislation.
