This 2 hour session is designed to raise awareness of:

Child abuse, and possible signs
Good practice in employment/supervision of paid or voluntary workers
Good working practice
Risk assessment
Responsibilities of the PCC and Named Person
Procedures for CRB checks within the Diocese of Norwich

A Certificate of Attendance is given.

Clergy must attend a child protection session within their first year of service;
Named Persons must attend as soon as practicable following their appointment.
Readers and other Licensed Lay Workers must attend a session early in their ministry.
Anyone working with children or young people, within or for the churches of the Diocese of Norwich, are encouraged to attend a session as soon as is practicable.

Whilst it is not a requirement to attend a training more than once, it may be helpful to remind yourself of the details by attending once every 3-5 years.  
Employed youth or children's workers should also consider attending the more intensive course offered by SAFE - there is a charge for these courses.

These basic training sessions are held at various venues around the Diocese throughout the year.  If the current sessions are not suitable for you, please contact Tricia Elson and register your interest.
