Hurting in the Context of Church

The last few years have seen the world at large, including the Church, deal with some serious, and long overdue, reckonings and conversations about the misuse of power. Sadly, many have experienced this in the place where they should be safest- among the people of God at church. The Safeguarding team have commissioned this course to help Clergy and lay leaders become more effective in serving and ministering to those who have experienced hurt at church. It will also provide space to engage with associated issues in their own context/experience. This course is suitable for anyone in a church community role but will be most applicable for members of the clergy, Parish Safeguarding Officers, and those in pastoral roles.
