I believe the answer is:

diocese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see the bishop's concern' is the definition.
'diocese' can be an answer for 'see' (both can mean a bishop's associated area). I am unsure of the 'the bishop's concern' bit.

'see' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'see' is 'ese' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diocese that I've seen before include "District under a bishop's authority" , "Church district" , "I see cod (anag)" , "Bishopric" , "Jurisdiction of a bishop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
