In February 2026, a full independent audit will be completed to understand where we are as a Diocese and Cathedral in respect of Safeguarding.
INEQE Safeguarding Group have been asked to carry out these Safeguarding Audits of the Church of England to make sure dioceses and cathedrals are doing all they can to create environments where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
Now they want to hear from you! Please help share your views!
As part of the Diocese of Ely and Cathedral Audit, INEQE are asking for as many people to contribute as possible.
They have created surveys for people to complete based on their role in the church, the links to these surveys is here (click here).
It is so important that anyone who is part of our Diocese, in whatever capacity, has the opportunity to have their say and have their voice heard as part of this process.
The more voices that INEQE can hear, the more they will be able to understand where we are and what we still need to do to ensure everyone in our Church community is kept safe.
Please can we urge you to complete the Survey. It is confidential and anonymous so you can say whatever you feel and it will only be used to inform INEQE’s final report.
The deadline for responses is the 2nd December 2025.
