Safeguarding – Online Course
The Church of England is encouraging everyone to become more aware of the potential risks and harm to young people and vulnerable adults. Everyone is invited to log onto a short basic awareness course (C0). This will help improve the understanding of abuse and help to build a culture of informed vigilance within the Church. The course is very straightforward to access, and should take no more than an hour to complete. It doesn’t have to be completed in one go but can be done in stages if preferred. If you would like to access the course please log onto https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/ or contact the parish safeguarding officer, Angeline Vere, 343006 or angeline.vere@btinternet.com
Fun Day (September 6th) organisers required
The Fun Day is scheduled for September 6th but owing to the many other activities already organised by the events team at least two new additional volunteers are required to run the fun day if it is to take place this year. If you are interested in taking on one of these lead roles please let James know.
