Creating Safer Space Advanced Module Online and Gathered Session

Lincolnshire District is delighted to be able to offer the online version of the Advanced Module of Creating Safer Space safeguarding training.

About this event

The training will be comprised of three sections:

1. Online learning:

Attendees will be registered with Theology X, the online course platform.

Attendees will need to complete the Theology X course ideally no later than a week before the gathered session.

It is estimated that the course on Theology X will take between 4 to 7 hours to complete depending on your learning style. You are not required to complete it all in one sitting but must complete no later than a week before your gathered session.

2. Handbook

The handbook will be emailed to you. Some people will be happy to read this from the screen, others may wish to print it at home. Others may wish to receive a paper copy. If this is the case then please provide your address on the booking form.

3. Attendance at the Gathered Session

The Gathered Session will take place on the date you have chosen and will be held online via Zoom.

Attendees will be sent the Zoom link, by email, in advance of the training session.

Please note that by registering for this session you are committing to attending the gathered session on the date listed above. If you are not able to commit to this date, we strongly recommend signing up for an alternative session.

Who should attend?

It is essential that you have completed the Foundation Module in recent years (no more than four) prior to booking for the Advanced Module. Once you have completed the Advanced Module you will not be required to repeat the Foundation Module again.

Attending an Advanced Module Creating Safer Space training session is mandatory for certain roles in the Methodist Church including ministers, local preachers, worship leaders, safeguarding officers, employees in leadership roles, lay people with pastoral leadership roles e.g. local church pastors.

What will I learn?

This training builds upon the knowledge and learning gained in the Foundation Module. The Advanced Module aims to:

• consolidate and develop your previous safeguarding learning exploring what this means in your designated role of responsibility within the Church
• further equip you with skills and resources to be confident in promoting good practice in the Church and community
• extend your understanding of responding well to different groups within the Church community.
