From May 2021 a new People System will hold people data for stipendiary clergy and other ministers. This is an exciting new development and will replace the outdated My View. It is the system that holds the information that will be presented in the National Register of Clergy.
The National Register of Clergy will be published on the Church of England website in May. It will show all clergy who hold a Bishop’s Licence or Permission to Officiate. It will not include contact information. As well as being the data source for the National Register, the People System will manage the payment of clergy stipends.
P60 Certificate for the year 2020/2021: Please ensure you download your P60 and any other historical pay documentation you have saved in MyView by 31 July 2021. MyView is being replaced by a new People System and will not be accessible after the end of July.

Overview
The People and Data Programme is a substantial piece of work that will bring together people data, systems and processes from across the Church of England. The programme comprises three elements: 
- A new people system that will be able to hold, and enable access to, people data for stipendiary clergy, other ministers and NCI staff 
- A common approach to organising and using that data 
- An integration platform that connects systems, including those used for pensions, recruitment and finance, to enable data to move between those systems and the new people system. 
The benefits we are seeking from this programme of work include: 
- The creation of a national register of clergy who have a Bishop’s licence, or Permission to Officiate 
- The consistent management of people data across the National Church Institutions (NCIs) and the wider Church 
- A reduction in the amount of paperwork we manage, and data entry we do, at the NCIs and in dioceses and cathedrals by connecting systems 
- The replacement of the out-of-date payroll and HR system used by the NCIs. 
Representatives from 42 dioceses are working with colleagues at the NCIs to deliver this programme of work.
