The Parish Safeguarding Officer Induction pathway equips learners with an understanding of the role of the Parish Safeguarding Officer and inducts them into key working practices and relationships. The induction consists of a 3 hour session delivered by the Diocese Safeguarding trainer, either via Zoom or face-to-face.
Participants should have completed Basic Awareness and Foundation before completing this Pathway. For newly appointed Parish Safeguarding Officers and DBS Administrators, we also offer a local induction session.
