Safeguarding Training

A healthy Christian community is one which ensures and nurtures the wellbeing of all. Safeguarding needs to be embedded in all aspects of the life and ministry of the Church, and safeguarding training and development at the Church in Wales is delivered in this context.

The training you will access will equip you and your church to engage positively with the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults in a practical and informed manner.

The training is designed and delivered by experienced and skilled trainers, committed to ensuring the Church is safe and welcoming place for all, who understand the statutory requirements of safeguarding children and adults, and how these are carried out in the context of the Church in Wales.

Training sessions now available. You may attend any of the sessions in any of the Dioceses, but you will need to select both a B1 and a B2 to complete the training. Training only requires updating every three years.

These sessions are for all who hold an ecclesiastical office, or who hold licence/PTO/commission from the Diocesan Bishop (whether lay or ordained), for those who run Sunday School or Youth clubs, Organists/Directors of Music, for whom an enhanced DBS is required.

You must book your training session. When you fill out the form, please add the date and name of the course. Please ensure you have selected both parts of the course if required.

Module A: ​Safeguarding Awareness Course​

The Module A, Safeguarding Awareness course is currently unavailable as we have been reviewing and re-writing this, so that it is up to date and fit for purpose. The new module A will be available soon. While we wait for that to be finalised, we still deliver module B, this does cover more training specific to safeguarding within a church context and includes what is relevant from Module A. Not having completed Module A will not be a barrier to undertaking Module B during this time.
