Diocesan Board of Education (DBE) - Diocesan Synod election of Board Members
The DBE is integral to the Diocesan Family and works in partnership with 76 schools, communities, churches and other stakeholders to promote distinctively Christian education across the diocese.
In line with the DBE constitution, Diocesan Synod are asked to appoint four or five members to the DBE Board to serve a three-year term from 1 January 2025. One of these must be a Clerk in Holy Orders licensed within the diocese. Board members must be nominated by Diocesan Synod members but do not necessarily need to be Diocesan Synod members themselves.

Vacancy in See Committee (ViSC) - Diocesan Synod election of Committee Members
In the event of the vacancy or impending vacancy of the See of Coventry, the ViSC has two key roles - to prepare a document setting out a profile of the diocese, and to elect diocesan representatives to the Crown Nominations Commission who will shortlist and interview prospective appointments.
Membership will run from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027. Whilst the Committee is in existence at all times, it only meets should there be a vacancy.
