Online safeguarding training uses the Church of England National Safeguarding Team’s online learning portal.
The resources and training you access will equip you and your church to engage positively with safeguarding in a practical and theologically informed way.
While the most convenient way to complete these courses is through the National Safeguarding Team online portal, we also offer face-to-face sessions for those who are unable to access the training through the portal for any reason. These can be delivered at your church or we have a limited number of courses running at church house ( see available dates below). Please contact the Safeguarding Training Team safeguarding@sheffield.anglican.org if you would like to discuss training being delivered at your church.
