Originally, this programme had to be completed online.

This created difficulties for those colleagues who are not confident completing material online and for those with poor or no internet access.

To ensure everyone can access this module, The National Safeguarding Team has produced materials for this module to be completed in person in a group using the PowerPoint slides, or the programmes can be printed and completed individually. They also provide a script to assist colleagues who would like to run the presentation.

Once the programmes are completed the Diocese will issue completion certificates, please email d.brown@newcastle.anglican.org with the following information:

Level of training completed
