Safeguarding 03. Training ~ Please find information below about training provision and dates ~ Our training coordinator, Lucy, is currently planning training for delivery throughout 2022. Although we hope to deliver some training face to face, due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation online training will continue to be a part of the landscape. We are also exploring hybrid options – so watch this space! If you need to do training but do not have access to the internet please get in touch with Lucy who will talk through the alternatives she has put in place. We will continue to review the situation over the coming months.

The safety and wellbeing of the most vulnerable in our society lies at the heart of the Gospel we are privileged to share. Our churches should be places of security and safety for all. As those who share in the public ministry of the Church, we bear a responsibility for ensuring that our own care for the vulnerable is well informed, and meets the standards required by the diocesan policies for the safeguarding of children and adults at risk. Safeguarding training is mandatory for many roles, both within church and in secular spaces. Church of England safeguarding training is delivered in the church context and requires delegates to take part in a safeguarding training session at least once every three years. Renewal of authorisation, permission to officiate (PTO), and the take-up of a new position in the diocese also require the appropriate levels of safeguarding training to be met. Failing to complete the correct level of training or DBS Checks, may invalidate your church insurance and the Charities Commission has strict guidelines on Trustee Training. *Please note that the training is incremental - to undertake a course as outlined below you MUST first complete the preceding module* Manage Cookie Preferences
