All PCC members, licensed and lay ministers, and those working in roles with children and/or vulnerable adults must complete the relevant level of training as set out by the Learning and Development Framework 2021.
There are clear signposts throughout all e-learning modules for anyone with immediate needs to be supported. Your PSO or incumbent would also be able to signpost to additional support.
Most training is now completed either individually online, via the Safeguarding Training Portal, or via a virtual group. All training must be renewed on a 3 yearly basis – renewing at the highest level required for your role.
For Clergy, Retired Clergy, Readers, Authorised Lay Ministers & Parish Safeguarding Officers. The course will be delivered virtually, comprising two sessions of an hour and a half over Zoom, plus some preliminary reflections and a completion task.
Tuesdays 16th & 23rd April, 2pm-3:30pm; Book Here
Fridays 10th & 17th May, 10am-11:30am; Book Here
Mondays 10th & 17th June, 7pm-8:30pm; Book Here
Both sessions must be attended in order to complete the course and bookings can be made using the relevant link – you only need to register for the first session which will qualify you for both (we have deliberately blocked out the second sessions so they will appear as “sold out”, to avoid duplicate bookings).
We run a specialised pathway for those holding PTO; invitations will be sent at time of renewal, or email the DBS Administrator for further information.
Please note that places are limited to 16 per course, and therefore fill quickly.
To be added to a waiting list for future dates, please email the DBS Administrator..
