CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) has now become DBS (Disclosure Barring Service). Anyone working with children, young people and vulnerable adults will now need to complete a DBS form before they start work.
I have agreed to be the DBS verifier for our church. I am waiting for confirmation from the circuit as to when I can begin this role.
Various people have been attending safeguarding training throughout the year. The BeAt leaders attended training on 23rd June led by Sarah Nesbitt, from the Diocese of Oxford, which was very well received.
I am attending training in July entitled Leadership Module Training. The aim of the training is to enable Safeguarding Officers, Ministers and other leaders in churches to develop a deeper understanding of their role and responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and to develop confidence in carrying out this role.
For any concerns about safeguarding please contact me.
