Additional training requirements for the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. – In addition to the national Policy requirements, we ask that:
- PCC members complete both the C0 and C1 courses. This is to reflect the importance of the governance role pf PCCs as Charity Trustees, especially where they are offering groups for children and vulnerable adults
- Church wardens complete the C0, C1 and Leadership modules. This is due to their key role as leaders of their churches especially during times of vacancy.
- Spiritual Directors must also complete C0, C1 and the Leadership Module as they may well me mentoring key Church leaders who do have ultimate responsibility in their Parishes.
Training available via the CofE Training Portal – Safeguarding Training Portal: Log in to the site (cofeportal.org)
C0 (Online Training) – Safeguarding Basic Awareness. The C0 is the minimum training required for everyone holding any role in the church If you have any additional responsibilities such as work with children or adults, prayer ministry etc. Or are Safeguarding coordinator or lead for the PCC, or Church Warden then you also need to complete the Foundation/C1 and possibly the Leadership/C2 module as well.
