Safeguarding Training Session

Thursday 20th June 2024 – 6pm-9pm

This invitation is open to all members of the church, of all denominations, whether or not you are currently involved in a formal way in church or within ecumenical children’s ministry. [Ecumenical children’s ministry includes Open the Book, Little Lights, Experience days]

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.

We 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 us 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 Church, 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 your Parish Safeguarding Officer so this can be recorded. (If you are completing this for ecumenical children’s ministry and you are not a member of Holy Trinity or All Saints, please send this to [email protected])

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.

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