Chapter 4: Safeguarding Training—What is available, who it's for, and how to access it

A downloadable version of this chapter is available for anyone who would like to save or print it out.

Safeguarding training is recognised as a key part of the Church's Safeguarding Policy and the aim of 'Ensuring a Safe Church for All'.

The training courses available aim to ensure that all those with any Safeguarding responsibility are trained in aspects of safeguarding relevant to their role. Therefore, it is important that all congregations are aware of the safeguarding training available and implement it as necessary within their local context.
