Safeguarding Serious Incident Reporting to the Charity Commission

The Church has worked with the Charity Commission to agree bespoke guidance for DBFs, PCCs, Religious Communities, DBEs and Cathedrals on how to identify and report a safeguarding Serious Incident to the Charity Commission.  

All individual Serious Incidents must be reported to the Charity Commission using the new online form, which can be accessed on their website. 

The up to date House of Bishops’ bespoke guidance on safeguarding Serious Incident Reporting is set out below for each entity.

Updated supporting FAQs and example template delegation resolutions are also available below to explain and support the implementation of this guidance. The FAQs and template delegations do NOT form part of the guidance.
