The Church of England’s National Safeguarding Team have developed a new version of the Leadership training.

Anyone in a leadership role, e.g. clergy, readers, church wardens, local worship leaders, local pastoral ministers, children and young people’s leaders and bell tower captains can attend this training.

The Virtual Safeguarding Leadership Learning Pathway requires some pre-course work to be completed so that participants are able to engage in a process of reflective learning.

This training is completed via a learning management system called Moodle where workbooks, coursework, Zoom links, case study and certificates are accessed.
