Safeguarding training for churches event

Christian Safeguarding Services are running a training day in Surrey in April. Although it is billed as being for Designated Safeguarding Lead people, feedback from previous events says that it would also be really beneficial for a church leader who is a trustee to attend with their safeguarding coordinator. Such safeguarding officers will then feel better supported in their role.

About the day:

Designated Safeguarding Lead Training

This course covers the responsibilities and legal duties of the safeguarding lead from a biblical perspective and an evangelical frame of reference. It addresses all of the key areas that the designated person needs to understand, including

• understanding safeguarding and abuse,
• responding appropriately to concerns of allegations of abuse,
• supporting staff and volunteers in the discharge of their duties,
• working confidently and competently with local statutory services,
• the importance of effective systems,
• the importance of culture
• managing concerns and referrals etc.
• supporting the church trustees in the discharge of their statutory duties

A buffet lunch is provided.
