General Information:

  Most volunteer positions within our churches require safeguarding training to be undertaken. A foundation safeguarding course usually needs to be completed (this can be delivered online or face-to-face) and modules on Equality, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI), and Unconscious Bias (UB) are also mandatory for most roles. These courses are refreshed by our volunteers every four years, to ensure we are following current best practice.

 Roles working with people considered vulnerable in our community are likely to require completion of an advanced safeguarding course.

 Please see the District Safeguarding page for further information, or contact Jay in the Circuit Office.

 All our ministers, local preachers, and worship leaders are expected to undertake advanced safeguarding training, and to ensure their certificate is kept up-to-date.
