INEQE Safeguarding Group has been asked to carry out Safeguarding Audits of the Church of England to make sure dioceses, cathedrals, and palaces are doing all they can to create environments where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. 

INEQE will be visiting the Diocese of Portsmouth and Portsmouth Cathedral in the week beginning 2nd June 2025. In the meantime, and as part of the audit process, INEQE hopes to engage with those who work, visit, or worship at the cathedral through an online survey to gain feedback and information relevant to the audit.

You can complete the survey on the Church of England website →

The survey is anonymous and confidential. INEQE would therefore ask you to be open and honest with your responses. The survey results are received directly by INEQE’s Audit Team and not by the Church of England. 

Please note that if you are part of the cathedral worshipping community, you should complete the survey for “The Cathedral Worshipping Community” (and not the “Parish Community”).

The survey is now live and will close at 11:30pm on 2 April 2025.
