Please note that this condensed learning pathway is only for those who hold, or are applying for, Permission to Officiate. If you also hold another role within the church, you will need to undertake the Leadership Pathway.

Delivery is one 3-hour session. This is split into 3 sections to allow comfort breaks.

In order to complete this training successfully, you will be sent some reading materials two weeks before the course commences and are required to complete a post course reflective piece of short work. This work will be emailed to you after you have attended the course.

Space is limited to 14 people per course, and each ticket is for one person only to attend.

Please Note: The postcode does NOT take you directly to the Sunday school room. Head to the church which is next to Keswick School (look out for the Brown Sign). Please park in the church spaces not the school car park. Once you get to the church, stand looking at it and turn left in front of the school music school. Walk round here and keep walking – the Sunday School room is round the back.

If you have any questions/concerns about the contents or method of delivery of this course, or if there are any ways that we can assist you with your learning, either prior to or during the session, please make contact with your Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser Joanna Van Lachterop at safeguarding.adviser@carlislediocese.org.uk. We will do our best to facilitate your requirements. Please do this as soon as you have booked onto the course.
