Report to Diocesan Synod 2016

Safeguarding Department

Staff members: Linda Langthorne, Chris Herbert (started Feb 2017)

& Sue Lamprell (started Jan 2017)

Remit

The role of the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser (DSA) is to advise the Bishop and Senior Staff in relation to

safeguarding matters and concerns, to manage specific safeguarding cases, risk assessments and

safeguarding agreements in accordance with national guidance and best practice and to ensure that the

Diocese of Sheffield maintains the highest standards of safeguarding and protection for children and adults,

following Church of England policy and guidance, by providing information, training and advice to all parishes

across the diocese.


A ualified so ial o ke ith ea s e pe ie e a oss both the statutory and charity sectors, the DSA

started post in January 2016 after the previous DSA had retired some 7 months before. This coincided with

the National Safeguarding Team becoming more directive in ensuring consistency in safeguarding practice

across the Church of England. To achieve this, all national safeguarding legislation was being reviewed and

required the DSA to contribute to a number of consultations. In addition, a national Safeguarding Learning &

Development Framework was introduced and required the DSA to attend a number of training sessions to

lea ho deli e spe ifi hu h fo used safegua di g p og a es a oss the dio ese.

An Independent Chair from a background of working in local authority social care at a senior level was

appointed to the Diocesan Safeguarding Management Group (DSMG). The group met quarterly and agreed

e te s of efe e e to esta lish li es of a ou ta ilit to the Bishop a d his se io staff tea a d Bishop s Cou il. The e it of the g oup is to support the work of the DSA and ensure robust safeguarding

practice across the diocese.

Training - There was a considerable backlog in safeguarding training owing to the gap in the appointment of

a new DSA. Delivery began in March 2016 but the number of sessions provided was limited owing to

capacity issues as the number of individual complex cases increased; however, 15 sessions were held in

2016, reaching 74 clergy and 100 lay volunteers and workers across the diocese. A number of volunteers

was also t ai ed the DSA th ough a t ai the t ai e p og a e to e a le deli e of fou datio le el training in their own and neighbouring parishes.

Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse - In 2016, the Church of England was required to respond to

requests for information for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse; chaired by Dame Goddard

Inquiry and later by Professor Jay. Every diocese was asked to submit information relating to past and more

current cases relating to child sexual abuse involving church officers. This was a considerable piece of work

requiring a level of administrative support. The Inquiry has now moved to the next stage when all the

evidence is being assessed and it is expected that public hearings relating to the Church will take place in

2018.

Independent Safeguarding Audit - The diocese was informed in late 2015 that an independent safeguarding

audit of the diocese would take place in October 2016 by SCIE (Social Care Institute for Excellence). An audit

action group was formed and met monthly from February until October to prepare for the three-day audit;

this included a representative from the Cathedral. During the three-day audit in October 2016 the auditors

met with the Bishop and the Archdeacons, a parish focus group, the independent chair of the Diocesan

Safeguarding Management Group and the DSA. Much of the audit was focused on case work and the 2

auditors spent time reading files and assessing the quality of the safeguarding work. The case work was

assessed as good quality along with an improvement in recording. The auditors recognised the progress

made in the 9 months of the appointment of the DSA and raised a number of considerations that the diocese

needed to work on. There were no great surprises but issues that the diocese was already aware of,

including the considerable backlog of safeguarding training required.

22 | P a g e

Resources - The DSMG had acknowledged prior to the audit that additional resources were required to

address and improve safeguarding practice across the diocese and deliver safeguarding training; funding had

been approved for a full-time safeguarding training officer and part-time safeguarding administrator. The

audit confirmed that these key posts were necessary in meeting the requirements to ensure compliance and

promote a culture of safeguarding across the diocese. A recruitment process towards the end of 2016

resulted in appointing two experienced individuals into the posts of trainer and administrator.

Future areas of work

A process of agreeing the final report from the audit began in November 2016 and is hoped to be finalised by

February 2017. The considerations in the audit report will form the basis of an action plan that will be

agreed by the Diocesan Safeguarding Management Group and atified the Bishop s Se io Staff Tea . There is a considerable programme of improvement work required to address the gaps in policy, practice

and training. Now that the diocese has a safeguarding department this will allow the backlog of safeguarding

training to be addressed through a clear strategy and delivery plan and will free the DSA to concentrate on

complex case work and strategic development.
