Safeguarding training session – Thursday 20th June 2024 – 6pm-9pm

We are committed to creating an environment, which is welcoming and respectful and enables safeguarding concerns to be raised and responded to openly, promptly and consistently.

I last offered this training three years ago and therefore the time has come to offer this training face to face!

If you trained face to face with me previously, have a certificate for training in the last three years, or have not undertaken training before; please do book and attend.

Everyone who is involved within the life of the church from greeting on a Sunday morning, helping with children’s ministry, making the refreshments, or any other role within the church; are required to undertake ‘Safeguarding training’ at both basic and foundation level, this is to be renewed every three years.

To this end, we have arranged to offer an in-person safeguarding training session at Holy Trinity, Dilton Marsh on Thursday 20th June 2024 - 6pm-9pm.

If you are unable to attend in person, it is possible to complete ‘Safeguarding training’ at both basic and foundation level online through: https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/

If you choose to complete online, please send a copy of your certificate to [email protected] so this can be recorded.

Refreshments will be provided, and a certificate issued, valid for three years to each participant.

Please contact Yvette Croft (Parish Safeguarding Officer) on 07460451770 or via email [email protected] to reserve your place or to answer any questions

I look forward to facilitating this training and seeing many of you there.
