Reorganisation is one of the more difficult conversations a diocese has. The Interactive Pastoral Planner lets you model the options first — and when a direction is chosen, pastoral schemes and deanery plans run as proper lifecycles: stage tasks, documents, timelines and every interested party consulted on the record.
Explore, decide, deliver — with the data, the documents and the people carried through all three.
A scenario-modelling tool for reorganisation options before anything is formalised — sketch a merger, a new benefice, a shared incumbency, and see what it means while it’s still just a conversation.
Full pastoral scheme records with stage tasks, documents, timelines and interested-party consultation — the Mission and Pastoral Measure process as a workflow, not a ring binder.
Proposals, consultations, timelines and affected entities per deanery — the local planning layer connected to the diocesan one, not parallel to it.
The long middle of a scheme — consultations, documents, objections, revisions — is exactly where paper processes lose the thread.
Consultation and scheme documents produced from the record itself — names, parishes and boundaries always current, never pasted.
Interested parties tracked per scheme with what was sent, what came back and when — the consultation trail a Measure process expects.
Each scheme carries its stage checklist and timeline — who owns the next step and when it’s due, visible to everyone involved.
A pipeline of projects and schemes by status and type — the whole reorganisation programme on one screen for the mission and pastoral committee.
The planner draws on the same records as everything else — the full CofE hierarchy, parish census and deprivation data, attendance and viability. See the Mission Dashboard →
Affected posts, licences and role changes connect to the clergy records they concern — the human consequences of a scheme tracked with it. See clergy lifecycle →
Live screens from a demo diocese built from published national data — real structure and boundaries, generated people.
The cheapest pastoral scheme is the one you modelled, tested and decided not to do.— Scenario modelling first; the statutory process only when a direction is chosen
