Information and guidance about the new UK child safety car seat laws is available on our resources page.

Events

Safeguarding Trainers' Forum

A forum of child protection trainers exists to discuss training needs, issues, ideas and suggestions. Formerly run as regular meetings, it was found that very few trainers could physically attend and in consequence the forum's function has been transferred to the Trainers' online discussion area on our extranet site.

Volunteer workers' training calendars

The Safeguarding Office also provides training for child protection co-ordinators.

As all training meetings and events are open only to Church of Scotland staff, office bearers and those in the ministries, please visit our the Support and Services Council pages on our dedicated extranet site for more information and to download these guides.
