  4. Consider the needs of victims/survivors and those impacted by abuse, providing relevant advice.
  5. Work with the DSA and senior leadership to ensure the DSAP is well-resourced, with sufficient capacity and a diverse skill set among its members. Participate in recruitment and succession planning.
  6. Act as an informal point of contact for DSAs, diocesan bishop, or group members outside formal supervisory and management structures.
  7. Advise the diocesan bishop or senior leadership team on specific concerns or issues, and where appropriate, report any concerns as part of whistleblowing protocols.
  8. Engage in national and regional network meetings for chairs as required.
