As part of the audit process, the team from INEQE would like to engage with a wide spectrum of individuals from dioceses, parishes and cathedral communities through online surveys. These surveys will act as a mechanism through which individuals can comment on matters relevant to the audit’s focus.
The surveys are both anonymous (the audit team are not seeking to identify individuals) and confidential (individuals will not be identified in our report). The purpose of the surveys is to enable the audit team to conduct a wider analysis of practice across Church bodies and give individuals the opportunity to contribute to the audit.
No one from the Church of England or other body will be provided with or have access to survey responses.
The Audit team have designed seven surveys for the following stakeholders, with each of the 7 survey groups being able to select their chosen survey from the Diocese of Norwich landing page on the INEQE website;
- Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF), Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) and Office of the Bishop Workforce – Including, for example, DBF staff or volunteers, Staff of the Diocesan Bishop’s Office or Diocesan Synod.
- Parish Community – Including, for example, parishioner, worshipper, or an attendee of another activity at the parish.
- Cathedral Workforce – Including, for example, the Chapter, clergy, staff, volunteers, choristers, or bell ringers.
- Parish Workforce – Including, for example, clergy, parish staff, volunteers, choristers, bell ringers, or worshippers.
- Cathedral Worshipping Community – Including those who visited, attended services or worshipped at the Cathedral.
- Victims/survivors of church-related abuse
- Children or Young People
