St Mary De Wyche
Church Lane Wychbold WR9 0NZ United KingdomThose working with children or adults should attend the relevant diocesan training course (which is specific to the church environment) within 12 months of taking up a post, even if they already have previous knowledge of safeguarding. If your role is not one for which a DBS check is required, but you work with children or vulnerable adults then you should still attend the C1 Basic Awareness module.
Churchwardens and PCC members are also welcome and encouraged to attend.
Separate training is also available specific to Parish Safeguarding Officers, Parish Reps or anyone in a recruitment role within church.
There is no charge for the course but it is essential to book in advance to ensure that there are spaces available or that the event is viable.
