FRAs for Church Vicarages

[Fire Monkey]

Hello,

Under what conditions would a Church Vicarage require a FRA? Would this be a place of work is the vicar conducted meetings in the church?

Could the Vicarage be included in the FRA of the adjacent Church?

Thanks,

Are they on a tenancy (clearly domestic) or is it accommodation that forms part of the job that they leave if they leave the job (greyer area)?

It doesn?t require an FRA. I would suggest it is the equivalent of the Scheme Manager?s flat in a sheltered accommodation block, the Estate Manager?s house in the grounds of a country estate or a tied cottage on a farm.

Hi,

The Vicarage is tied to the job (property owned by the Church) - if they leave the job, they leave the property.

I think at a farm estate or sheltered accommodation manager's job (or caretaker's flat at a school) meetings, relating to the function and use if the main building, do not normally take place in the residence (separate office for official business), but in the case of a Vicarage they may well do.

I am sure I read about this somewhere on a Church of England advisory note but a recent web search brought up nothing.

Has any one done a Church FRA?

Cheers,

Because it's there home outside of being at work - as oppose to only using it 'on shift' so to speak? The staff quarters at a lot of specialised housing are only used 'at work' and by different people so would be under the Order?
