Safe Church is a diocesan training program that focuses on ensuring that our parishes are places of safety from the harm of misconduct that can occur in situations when there is an imbalance of power. Training is provided to clergy, staff, and volunteers and is designed to raise and maintain awareness about personal safety and equip individuals to manage their own personal risk.
For more information, see the Parish Learning Hub session on Safe Church & Youth Programming.
