Medium-size developments approved in 2022

Medium-size developments are discussed and voted upon by the Dashboard User Group. A development is only implemented if more dioceses vote in favour than vote against. It is funded by a modest increase in the Annual Fee paid by all paricipating dioceses in subsequent years (including any dioceses that voted against it).

Development 04 - Managing church activities Parishes are required to maintain a list of church activities involving children, young people and vulnerable adults.
