Earlier this week, our Safeguarding Team hosted their first face-to-face Parish Safeguarding Officer event at Church House.
The afternoon began with a Christmas buffet and prayers of thanks for our PSOs from Bishop Mark before updates from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team. After Maggi Creese spoke on ‘Responding Well to Victims and Survivors’, Jill Thirlaway gave a presentation on how the Safeguarding Team and PSOs can work together to keep people safe in our parishes. A Christmas quiz finished the afternoon off.
Sharon Devlin, Director of Safeguarding, said: "It was a pleasure to meet everyone. We are incredibly grateful to all our PSOs who work hard to create a safer church."
