Safeguarding training
Safeguarding training is an important part of the Church's commitment to making churches safe through the promotion of good preventative safeguarding practices.
In this section, you can find guidance for anyone with the role of Safeguarding Officer within their chaplaincy. But, because safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, there is also information about training courses and workshops which are open to everyone.
For church officers, clergy and laity, there is a special pathway or training progression programme based on your role. Please refer to the Core Safeguarding Learning Pathways information or to the Chaplaincy Roles Checklist to discover what training levels you need to complete for your role.
Training must be refreshed every three years by repeating the highest-level course relevant to your role. This will ensure you keep up to date with any changes in practice and policy and that the diocese remains legally compliant.
