Care of Churches > About this Section
The Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches (the DAC) is a statutory body set up under The Faculty Jurisdiction Measures of 1938 & 1992. It offers advice to Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) and to the Chancellor of the Diocese about proposed works to church buildings and churchyards. It calls upon a range of experts and consultants who offer their skills on a voluntary basis. On this section of the website can be found information about how the DAC operates; about faculties; and guidance notes on a wide range of topics from grants to reordering, CCTV to carpets. Contact the DAC Office for further advice and information, and with any specific queries concerning works to your church building or churchyard.
