Deanery Accompaniers come from across the support services teams and take on this role alongside their other work. They provide a point of connection between deaneries and the diocesan support services, so that:
- deaneries can easily access the support that they want and need - by signposting to colleagues
- the support offered is shaped by an understanding of the realities across the diocese
