This is for anyone who has completed their Basic and Foundation level training and needs to progress to the next level. It is required for anyone who has safeguarding leadership responsibilities or leads activities involving children and/or adults at risk, in particular:
- Bell Tower Captains
- Choir leaders
- Churchwardens
- Incumbents and clergy, including those that hold PTO
- Licensed Lay Ministers/Readers
- Leaders/Supervisors of work with children and/or adults at risk (paid or volunteer)
- Music Group leaders
- Parish Safeguarding Officers
- PCC Safeguarding leads
- Youth and Children’s Pastors
The training lasts three years and should be updated within three years of the initial training date.
Leadership training replaces the C2/C3 training.
We host both online and in-person sessions.
The training involves two sessions lasting 90 minutes each and both must be attended. You must complete the pre-work to attend the course which is detailed in the Participant Workbook.
Your completed workbook must be sent in a week before the first session, to safeguarding.training@london.anglican.org. You must also send in a reflection after the final session.
You will not be able to attend the training if you do not submit the workbook prior to the first session and your certificate will not be issued until your final reflection has been received.
Currently available course dates in 2024 are:

Group 36 – 4th & 11th December at 10am-11:30am
