Safeguarding update - August 2022

Safeguarding training
Tower captains should continue to ensure that all ringers in your tower have completed the Chichester Diocese online Basic Awareness Safeguarding (C0) course which is now mandatory. The training can be found at  https://safeguarding.chichester.anglican.org/safeguarding-training/ Completed certificates should be passed to your Parish Safeguarding Officer.
 
DBS certificates
If you need a DBS certificate to teach young ringers, this can be arranged via your Parish Safeguarding Officer.  DBS certificates do not need regular renewal, but it is a good idea to join the "updates service" within one month of gaining your certificate as this makes it easier for organisations to carry out a DBS check in the future.
