Safeguarding Conference and Safeguarding Sunday 2025
Save the date! Our Autumn conference will be on Saturday 15th November, the day before Safeguarding Sunday. The event will run for three hours and will be recorded for colleagues who are unable to attend on the day.
The conference, of course, is free to attend and we hope to see as many CSOs and ASOs who are able to be there. Archdeacons, Area Deans, members of Eden Voice and DSAC, safeguarding trainers and colleagues from the diocesan offices are also encouraged to join us for what should be an interesting and informative event.
Once again, we will begin Safeguarding weekend with a service on Zoom. Details for the service and conference will be shared as the team finalise details.
The Safeguarding Sunday resource pack from thirtyone:eight will be available soon. You can register to receive it here: Safeguarding Sunday.
Contact the team if you would like to watch a recording of one of our previous conferences.
