Dashboard developments
|
As more people use Safeguarding Dashboards, new ideas are being suggested to make life simpler for everyone. Some of these ideas are quite simple to implement, others require significantly more work. Minor developmentsSecurity updgrades and minor developments will be implemented at the discretion of Clearly Simpler at no additonal charge. The cost of minor developments is covered by the Annual Fee paid by participating dioceses. Medium-size developmentsMedium-size developments will always be discussed with participating dioceses via the Dashboard User Group. A costed proposal will be submitted for each new development, and it will only proceed with the agreement of the Dashboard User Group. If it comes to a vote, this will require more dioceses voting in favour than voting against. If agreed by the User Group, medium-size developments will be funded by a modest increase in the Annual Fee paid by all paricipating dioceses in subsequent years (including any dioceses that voted against it).
Major developmentsWorking in partnership with parishes, dioceses and the National Safeguarding Team, Clearly Simpler will write a detailed specification for any major development. For example, we are currently writing a specification for a Safer Recruitment Hub. This will fully comply with the new Safer Recruitment and People Management Guidance, and will significantly simplify the recruitment of parish volunteers. Major developments may be funded by a one-off cost or by a separate annual fee. However, such developments will be entirely optional, and there will be no obligation for any diocese to contribute towards their cost. |
