Active engagement with safeguarding learning supports all those who have a role within the Church to implement best safeguarding practice and to effectively recognise and respond to safeguarding situations.

Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility. Training is mandatory and should be renewed every three years.

The Church of England’s Safeguarding Learning and Development Framework 2024, sets out the details of the Church's safeguarding learning pathways for all Church bodies, and expectations on Church Officers in respect of those pathways.  It replaces previous safeguarding training practice guidance.
