Safeguarding Support Forums
These in-person sessions are intended for PSOs, and for anyone else involved in safeguarding leadership in their parish/benefice. Across the year, several sessions are being offered in different locations in the Diocese, with the aim of making them as accessible as possible. These sessions are not training, but an opportunity to connect and network with other PSOs, to receive safeguarding updates from the Diocesan Team, and to come with any questions/concerns about your role and safeguarding in your parish/benefice.
If you plan to attend a session, please click below to send us an email.
This enables us to best prepare the sessions we are providing. We look forward to seeing you at one of the forums!
