Research participants wanted: Christian theology and child protection practices in the Church of England.
Brett Riches, Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser, is conducting research for his dissertation as part of an MSc he is undertaking in Advanced Child Protection Studies. For this research, he is requesting the participation of parish clergy and PSOs in the Diocese of Gloucester. This is initially via a short online survey with the ability to opt into an interview as well.
The research question is ‘Does Christian theology impact child protection practices in the Church of England?’ The research project seeks to gain insight into how Christian theology influences the way we approach and implement child protection practices in the Church of England. By exploring the relationship between theology and the day-to-day safeguarding of children, the aim is to enhance understanding and insight and, ultimately, strengthen the safeguarding practices we already have in place both in the Diocese of Gloucester and nationally.
