The Church of England, like all institutions, is governed by a range of measures.  Some of these are specific to the church, but we also have to be aware of the laws and regulations that relate to other businesses, charities and voluntary organisations. 


This section is where you should be able to find help and advice relating to the legal aspects of being part of the church community.

We have developed the Parish Handbook to collate all the data and governance returns that are required by the National Church and Liverpool Diocese each year, and direct you to the guidance and support available to you in one place.
