2nd Session of a Safeguarding Leadership Course for all Parish Safeguarding Officers, Church Wardens and Bell Tower Captains

Course Outline

This course will help you to understand:

• how safeguarding concerns can be prevented within their context
• how healthy culture, safe and effective leadership shape Christian communities that are healthy, safe and have the capacity to deliver high quality safeguarding practices
• recognise when risk management and processes are required, understanding when, why and how they must be utilised
• understand more of the impact that abuse and trauma have on individual lives’, relationships, and interactions in a community setting, leading to better responses to victims and survivors
• evaluate their learning and translate this into an individual plan of action that will improve their safeguarding practice and responses

Course Outline

Please note you should also complete or have completed the online basic & foundation safeguarding training, which can be accessed via the Church of England training portal: https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/ prior to attending Leadership Training as this session very much presumes you have completed both these courses.
