C0 is suitable for all individuals within our Church communities who need to have a basic awareness of safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults. For those who need to complete further modules – C1 and C2 – C0 is an essential prerequisite, but it can also be used as an introduction for anyone interested in how the Church approaches safeguarding work.
