Parish Safeguarding Officer and Train the Trainer workshop-

In recent years the Diocese has made good progress in changing not just our policies and practices relating to safeguarding, but (in my view more importantly) changing the level of understanding as to why it is so important and causing a change in attitudes and behaviours of everyone in the Diocese who has a safeguarding responsibility. This change has happened partly because of the increase in priority safeguarding has been given, but mainly because so many members of the Diocese, voluntary and paid staff, have taken that responsibility on themselves and have made a positive contribution to making the Diocese a safer place for all.

The role of Parish Safeguarding Officers and Safeguarding Trainers is vital in this process. I chair the Diocese Safeguarding Management Board and we often discuss how we can support you. One of the ways we seek to do this is by holding a Safeguarding Workshop twice a year. To those of you have attended one before, I hope you will agree that the workshops provide a valuable opportunity for the safeguarding team to update you on the latest developments and for you to tell us what we could do to better help you in your role.
