This training is specifically for churches in Dromore Presbytery.

This training is designed to equip those serving in children's and youth ministry with the knowledge and confidence to recognise, respond, report, and record safeguarding concerns, helping to create safer church environments for every child and young person.

Important Booking Information

Booking is essential.

Please only attend the training taking place within your own Presbytery.

Each attendee must obtain their own ticket, please retain your ticket for entry – group bookings or shared tickets are not permitted.

Who Should Attend?

Members of Kirk Session who are involved in youth and children's ministry.

The congregation's Designated Person for Safeguarding and Minister.

Leaders, Helpers and Volunteers involved in youth and children's ministry.

This training is essential for everyone, even if you already hold professional safeguarding qualifications (e.g., as a teacher, nurse, police officer, or social worker). PCI operates under its own safeguarding policies and procedures, making this church-specific training a mandatory requirement for your role.

Safeguarding training is required every three years. If you have already completed your training and your renewal is not yet due, please consider making space for others within your congregation or Presbytery who have never attended. This helps ensure that as many people as possible can access training and that every church has suitably equipped volunteers and leaders.

You must inform your church's Designated Person that you are have attended this training, as it is their responsibility to record and manage these records.
