Parish Safeguarding Dashboard and Hubs
Parish Dashboards
Making life simpler for PSOs, Incumbents and PCCs
The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard Tool is a simple to use, online tool, that helps Parish Safeguarding Officers and incumbents (on behalf of the PCC) to keep track of safeguarding governance in your parish via mobile phone, tablet or computer. Over 8,000 parishes across 40 dioceses are already using the tool which is aligned to the National Safeguarding Standards.
Authorised users answer a series of questions by clicking on the appropriate buttons. 
Guidance and links to the relevant national policies and templates are provided for each of the questions.
Action plan notes can be added and tracked.
Completion of tasks are tracked using the simple traffic lights on the dashboard allowing quick identification of gaps that are still to be addressed.
The Parish Safeguarding Dashboard Tool has a dedicated website with more information, FAQs and tutorials: Safeguarding Dashboards
Safeguarding Hubs
Launched in 2023, Safeguarding Hubs are free to all parishes in participating dioceses. Hubs are a suite of tools providing parishes a safe, secure and GDPR compliant space to keep track of DBS checks and safeguarding training, create role descriptions and person specifications and helps with safer recruitment and people management.
