Confidential Feedback Report and the Review Meeting
A Confidential Feedback Report is produced from the analysis of data from the minister’s questionnaire and those completed by his/her nominees. The Report is received by ministers and the facilitators for their Review Meetings 14 days ahead of the meeting taking place. Discussion at the Review Meeting will be centred on this report.
The comments of the minister and those of the nominees are also included in the report along with the Discussion Points and Bar Charts that help compare the view of a minister and the nominees, and any variance.
The only documentation that will be kept on file will be the Bar Charts. They will be attached to the Part 1 Development Plan which will be completed, with the assistance of the facilitator, towards the conclusion of the Review Meeting. The minister will summarise the feedback received from the nominees, including that offered by the facilitator, along with his/her own response. The minister will also have identified 3 Development Needs and Aims, at least one of which will be a gifting or recognised strength, to take forward to the following Action Learning Set.
The Action Learning Set will meet three times over three months. During the course of the ALS a Part 2 Development Plan will be produced by the minister who will have identified specific aims to be pursued, the actions that will be taken, the timescale for completion and the training that might be needed. This Plan will also be kept on file and a copy will be sent to the Continuing Professional Development Officer (CPD) for the Diocese so that support and advice can be provided. That concludes Year One of the new MDR process.
In Year Two the minister will meet with a Bishop, Archdeacon or the Dean to discuss progress.
Examples of the Bar Charts follow to show how data is presented in that format (nb. actual figures have been removed).
