The safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults who participate in the life of the Church is a top priority for the Archdiocese. For this reason, our volunteers are trained in Safeguarding before they undertake any work with children and/or protected adults. Each Diocese has specially trained individuals who provide this training.
The Archdiocese has around 2,500 Tier 1 and Tier 2 volunteers, along with many others who may require training in the future. This is an ever-evolving situation, with new volunteers coming on board, all of whom must complete training before beginning their parish role.
These volunteers are essential to the life of each parish. We are therefore looking to expand our cohort of trainers and hope to recruit volunteers to join our training team to help deliver courses throughout the year.
Training and support are provided to all volunteer trainers. A range of courses is delivered, both in person and via Zoom. We urgently require volunteers with training experience, either in their current or previous roles. If you have these skills and experience and are interested, please contact the Director of Safeguarding, Caterina O’Connor (DSA), on 07539 893396 or by email at caterina.oconnor@rcag.org.uk for an informal chat.
