Training
The Diocese of Galloway is committed to ensuring all volunteers who work with vulnerable groups and individuals receive the appropriate Safeguarding training. No volunteer can commence active ministry until they have completed the Induction Training.
We have a team of dedicated trainers who provide training on an ongoing basis to individuals or groups across the diocese and they can deliver this in person or online.
If you require training, please either contact a trainer, your local Parish Safeguarding Coordinator or the Safeguarding team.
Diocesan trainers are able to provide Induction Training and Parish Safeguarding Coordinator training.
If you have specific or different requirements, please contact the Diocesan Office on 01292 266750.
View the Training Calendar to see what courses are currently planned. if you would like to join one of the courses please contact the trainer.
