On 7 April 2021, the Church in Wales stated that its national online safeguarding case management and record-keeping system had launched, serving as a single searchable repository of all Church in Wales safeguarding and whistleblowing case data, while its safeguarding policy sets out that casework of a safeguarding nature is undertaken at a national level to ensure consistent implementation. It also stated that it is developing procedural guidance to document what information is held, and how information should be exchanged between the safeguarding case management systems and personnel records held at a diocesan local level. Relevant staff would be trained in accordance with this guidance. The Church in Wales stated that provincial safeguarding officers already have the right to view the personnel files of clergy and agreed that its procedural guidance needs to make clear to the various employers of other church staff that the same applies to lay personnel. On 7 January 2022, the Church in Wales stated that the timetable for adopting updated procedural guidance had slipped.
