This policy provides legal protection for proceedings under the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003. If you hold Common Tenure under the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009, it also provides legal expenses cover in relation to any disputes, inquiries or grievances under this Measure. If you are a member of clergy in the Church in Wales it provides legal protection for the equivalent proceedings under the Church in Wales Constitution or the clergy handbook.
To ensure an expert service the cover under this policy has been arranged through DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Limited (DAS).

- Represent you in an unfair dismissal dispute following your removal from office following a capability assessment under the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009 and regulations, or the Church in Wales Constitution and clergy handbook
In addition you have access to a range of telephone helplines.
