In October 2023, the Church of England published the National Safeguarding Standards and Quality Assurance Framework.
These standards contain descriptions of 'what good looks like'. Some of these descriptions are mandatory requirements, others are good practice.
The dashboard initially focussed only on mandatory requirements. Therefore, to fully align the dashboard to the new standards, the 2024 upgrade adds some extra lights that focus on good practice.
Dashboard lights relating to good practice only appear in the Safeguarding Standards section of the dashboard (and not in the Mandatory Requirements section).
