Change of PVG Coordinator

Any change to a congregation’s PVG Coordinator must be processed through the Diocesan Protection Officer, currently Hannah Harcus. Information on the process can be found in the following document; however, it is best to contact the DPO early in the process. No one should be appointed as PVG Coordinator without the Bishop’s permission.
