Complaints

We welcome constructive feedback to help us improve our work

This page contains information about who you should contact if you have a complaint. 

 

What is the nature of your complaint?

My complaint is about:

  • A parish church

    If your complaint is about a local parish church your complaint should be directed to the relevant Parochial Church Council (PCC). Contact details for the leaders of local parish churches can be found on parish church websites.

     

  • A vicarage or other house owned by Chelmsford Diocese

    If you are a member of clergy who is resident in a Chelmsford Diocese vicarage or other property owned by the Chelmsford Diocesan Board of Finance, and have a complaint relating to the property please contact the Property Helpdesk in the first instance. Please call 01245 294471 or send the helpdesk an email.  We hope to be able to address most concerns to the satisfaction of complainants informally and through dialogue.
