This guidance is intended to help:
- public institutions to consider how their chaplaincy services are meeting the spiritual, pastoral, religious and cultural needs and providing the highest standards of care for their service users and staff;
- chaplains in their personal and professional development;
- faith organisations, where existing guidance is not in place, to provide effective support to institutions and faith leaders in the selection and development of chaplaincy; and
- those looking to become chaplains to understand the requirements and demands of the role.
