At the second Safeguarding Day in 2020, about 80 people gathered from across the diocese to learn about the responsibilities we all share in keeping people safe in our church communities.

This was the second of three events planned by Robert Nellist, our Diocesan Safeguarding Officer, to provide introductory and refresher training in Safeguarding for all Clergy and Lay ministers, PVG Coordinators, and Vestry members. The first event took place earlier in the month and a third event will be scheduled later in the year for those who could not attend the first or second day.

Bishop Ian states: “It is very important that all those in ministry, and ideally all those in vestries, should attend one of the Safeguarding Days.”
