To help you keep your work and personal messages separate, and to ensure GDPR compliance, all clergy are given a Diocese of Leeds e-mail address (firstname.lastname@leeds.anglican.org). The Diocese (i.e. – the Bishops, Archdeacons, Church House) uses this as your primary e-mail address.
In order to ensure you do not miss any e-mails from the Diocese, you will need to either log in directly to your Office365 account or ask us to forward messages automatically to an existing work e-mail address. Your log in details will be sent to you directly. Please do one of these things as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on diocesan communications.
Accessing Diocesan email accounts while outside of the UK
As part of our ongoing efforts to increase the cyber-security posture of the Diocese, we have implemented a new policy that, by default, blocks access to Leeds email accounts while outside of the UK.
We have seen an increasing number of malicious attempts to access Diocesan email accounts from various locations around the world, so by implementing this policy we hope to mitigate some of the risk of accounts being compromised.
If you know you will be travelling outside of the UK and will require access to your Diocesan email account during that time, please raise a support ticket with our IT provider ACS – mitsupport@acsitservices.co.uk - to request temporary access. They will require your return date so that the access can be reset once you return to the UK.
However, we also would like to remind you of the importance of a good work-life balance and would encourage you to consider leaving your work at home.
