Parish Safeguarding Dashboard and Hubs

Please note: The Dashboard and Hubs are separate programmes that work together, individual invites must be received in order to access both for your parish. 

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

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.  For further information and tutorials : Safeguarding Hubs

We would like to remind everyone that to continue using the Parish Safeguarding Hubs, the Service Level Agreement must be approved before December 1st. This can be done by the Hub Owner on behalf of the PCC, as this individual should have been appointed by the PCC/ Standing Committee, they have permission to do so. This agreement is to ensure that any data processing complies with the UK's General Data Protection Regulations- GDPR.

1-On behalf of the PCC, Hub Owner ticks this has been approved on the Parish Hub. DEADLINE 1ST DECEMBER 2025. 

2-To do this: log into your Parish Hub, select 'hub settings', select 'service agreement', tick that it has been approved.

3-Once this has happened, this section will now show a green tick, instead of an amber exclamation point. 

Please note that if anyone is yet to sign up for their Parish Hub, the approval for the Service Agreement will be asked upon initial log on, in order to access the Hub.
