The Creating Safer Space Foundation Module 2024 training will help you:
- appreciate how safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and fundamental to the culture of a flourishing Church
- have a better understanding of good safeguarding practice within the Methodist Church, and understand its unique position in creating a safe space for all
- promote awareness and extend an inclusive welcome to those who have experienced abuse
- recognise, respond, record and refer relevant concerns about the safety and welfare of a child or adult, and recognise blocks to good practice
- learn from evidence from the Methodist Past Cases Review (2015-17) and note the current national context, eg the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA)
We will listen to our circuit's trainers using powerpoint slides, and small group discussions. Please bring distance and reading glasses if applicable
Refreshments will be available beforehand and throughout.
A handbook and workboook will be provided- more details are on the Aire and Calder safeguarding training page and https://www.methodist.org.uk/safeguarding/training/foundation-module-2024-edition-participants/foundation-module-2024-edition-materials/
