Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse

 

Safeguarding Basic Awareness Module

 

Safeguarding Foundations Module

 

Safeguarding Leadership 

This is required to be completed by:

  • All Clergy holding the Bishop’s licence, commission, authorisation, or permission, including Honorary/Assistant Bishops and Chaplains.

  • All Readers and ALM

  • Safeguarding Officers in all Church bodies

  • Churchwardens

  • Tower Captains and equivalent

  • Leaders of any groups working directly with children, young people or vulnerable adults

This is designed to be run over two sessions of 90 minutes, two weeks apart. There is written work to complete and submit before and after the course. Most of our sessions are delivered over Zoom, however we do also have some face-to-face sessions.

 

Permission to Officiate (PtO) Training

It is recognised that those with Permission to Officiate (PtO) still need to participate in safeguarding learning. It is also recognised that the exercise of PtO and the level of ministry can vary considerably between different people. For some it will involve a high level of work regularly, for others a very low level of work irregularly. As the main Safeguarding Leadership Pathway is now targeted at those people “who play a lead role in shaping the culture of the Church body concerned” therefore, if you lead worship or other church activities less than once a month, you may choose to take this course as an alternative to the Leadership Pathway. 

 

Parish Safeguarding Officer Induction

The purpose of this session is to introduce people to the PSO role making sure that they have all the tools required to carry out the job successfully. The focus of the session is to equip participants with an understanding of the role of the Parish Safeguarding Officer and induct them into key working practices and relationships. Prior to attending the course, PSOs will need to complete the courses detailed above. In order to express an interest in this training, please email kharper@diocant.org
