The Church of England has introduced a new modular safeguarding training and development programme for use by Dioceses, Cathedrals and Theological Education Institutions. The programme builds core, generic safeguarding training according to role, and through a person’s ministry path.  Please look at each module to see whether it is recommended or required for you to attend.
