Presbytery safeguarding training for leaders, helpers and volunteers

Child Safeguarding training is being rolled out in May 2026. This training helps to provide a basic understanding of child safeguarding and is a requirement for all leaders, helpers and volunteers who are working with children and young people within PCI. Child safeguarding training is being rolled out at a Presbytery level. Each session will be capped at 80 spaces, the aim will be to provide another block of training in June. There will be no training in July or August, but training will recommence in September. Adult Safeguarding training will be being developed and rolled out later this year.
