In October 2023, the Church of England published the National Safeguarding Standards and Quality Assurance Framework.

This encouraged all church bodies to assess their safeguarding work against five national standards:

Standard 1 - Culture, Leadership and Capacity
Standard 2 - Prevention
Standard 3 - Recognising, Assessing and Managing Risk
Standard 4 - Victims and Survivors
Standard 5 - Learning, Supervision and Support

The Progress Overview page shows the progress that a parish has made towards each of these five standards.
