Therefore, this course is taught through short, engaging videos with expert interviews on a custom-built website, complete with online questionnaires and journaling for a55essment purp05e5.

Rlsk Mltigatlons A COVID-19 working group was fomied earfy in the pandemic in order to issue guidance and co- ordinate the response tothe risks presented by the pandemic. The working group included representatives from the Cler8y, Health and Safety, Finance and Safe8uardin8 teams. Throu8hout the pandemic the Blshops, Conference has continued to Issue spetific guidellnes in respect of how to Implement the latest government guidan￿. and, when churches have been allowed to open, has provided specific guidance to help Parish Priests facilitate collective worship safely. 15 The worklng group continued to meet during 2021122 and ensured that Parishes, Clergy and staff throughout the Diocese received regular communications during the pandemic from both the Covid- 19 working group and the Bishop's offKe, in order to disseminate the m05t up to date information on an ongoing basis. In parishes where onllne services had been introduced during periods of lockdown, many parishes continued these after thurches were allowed to open. allowing those parishioners who were not able to attend mass, to feel connected to those services and the communlty. The use of soclal media has continued to allow our clergy to maintain contact with parishioners. providing much needed communication and a positive impact on well-being. A central online donation plarform has been made available on the Diocesan website, allowing parishioners who would normally make cash donations. to make donations electronically. This. together with the promotion of donations by standing order, has helped to reduce the potential shortfall in donation income. Durin8the period individual parish donatlon platformswere made available to parishe5 Wishing to have an indmdual platfomi In place. The Diocese utilised the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Where staff were not been able to attend work due to social distancing restrictions, and home working was not feaslble, or where work was not available, employees were furlougthed. Approxirnately 40% of the workforce was furloughed at some time duringthe pandemic. rinancial Control Policy.

Durin8 2021122, we revlewed the sUPPOrt we provide to parishes, and our associated controls and procedures continue to be reviewed on an on8oing basis. Publlc Benefit: The Board Members confinn that they comply with the duty in S 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charlty Commission's public benefrt 8uidance when exercising any powers or dutles to which the guidance is relevant. Detai15 of the main actNities undertaken to further the chariws purposes for the public benefrt are noted earlier in thts document. Fundrnlslng Pollcy: Our Diocese is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is committed to the Fundraisin8 Promise. We do not use any external fundraisers.

The Dlocese considers parish funds to be designated at parish level, for parish requirements. The poliry of the Diocese Is to malntaln its reserves at a level that will provide the income necessary to assist it in implementing its future objectives, indudin8 but not Ilrnfted to the increased cost of caring forthe Slck and Retired cler￿ of the Diocese. The DiocesÈ aims to hold cash reserves of £IOm. Cash reserves as at 514122 stood at £10.6m. Due to the slze of the Diocese and the number of parishes within the Di0￿$e, the Directors feel that this is a reasonable amount to cover expenditure for the perlod of one year. Should cash reserves fall below this. depending on the projected cash flow, investments may be Ilquidated.
