COLLECT
Blessed Lord,
who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
help us so to hear them, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that,
through patience, and the comfort of you holy word,
we may embrace and for ever hold fast the hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Safeguarding audit
Dear Friends
In February 2026, a full independent audit is going to be completed to understand where we are as a Diocese and Cathedral in respect of Safeguarding. As part of this audit, INEQE, the company carrying out the audit are asking for as many people to contribute as possible. They have created surveys for people to complete and the link to these are below. It is so important that anyone who is part of our Diocese, in whatever capacity, has the opportunity to have their say and have their voice heard as part of this process. The more voices that INEQE can hear, the more they will be able to understand where we are on our journey and what we still need to do to ensure everyone in our Church community is kept safe. Please can I urge you all to complete the Survey. It is confidential and anonymous so you can say whatever you feel and it will only be used to inform INEQE’s final report.
The surveys are now open and will close on 2nd December.
Link to survey: https://ineqe.com/churchofengland/Ely/
If you have any questions about the Audit, please email ineqe.audit@elydiocese.org.
Sarah Kennedy, Head of Safeguarding in our Diocese, and I really appreciate your support with this.
Good wishes
