The Leadership Course is a requirement for all those who have any leadership responsibility in the church.
All those with Bishop’s licence (Clergy, readers and Lay Ministers), Churchwardens, and many others who hold positions of leadership in work with children, young people or adults who may be at risk or are vulnerable must complete this course. Others in the church are also welcome to attend, as training adds to culture change in the church. The evaluation task includes preparing an action plan, so you may find it helpful to do this course at the same time as other leaders from your church if that is possible.
The Leadership module is a mixture of reading and preparation work, two ‘Zoom’ or in person sessions of 90 minutes each and some Review and Evaluation work.
If you have not previously completed the online Basic and Foundations Courses, this is a requirement to complete these before you complete the Leadership course. To complete the Basic and Foundation online training the link is: https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/
