CSO mentoring workshops

Thank you to Carolyn, Maxine and Celia for running this series of workshops, and thank you to the safeguarding officers who attended.

The first workshop looked at the responsibilities of the role, Confidential Declaration Forms, the Chaplaincy Roles Checklist and the CSO's relationship with the chaplaincy council. Watch the recording here.

Workshop two covered safeguarding checks. Watch the recording here.

Workshop three was about safeguarding concerns, making a record of a concern or a disclosure and making referrals to the Diocesan Safeguarding Team. Watch the recording here.
