Everyone’s

Responsibility

CREATING SAFER SPACE

Foundation Module

What?

A Safeguarding training session for all adults, both volunteer and paid, working in different roles in the Methodist Church.

The Methodist Church, connexionally, has accepted the ‘Creating Safer Space’ report and is creating a series of training sessions for those undertaking various roles and responsibilities in the Methodist Church.

The session is run in a friendly and relaxed style and has been appreciated by those who have already attended.

By the end of the module you should:

•Understand that safeguarding and creating safer space is everyone’s responsibility and an integral part of being church.

•Have a better understanding of the safeguarding processes within the Methodist church and your role within them.

•Know when to have concerns about the safety and welfare of a child and vulnerable adult.

•Recognise potential blocks within the church to responding well.

•Be able to respond appropriately to concerns about the safety and welfare of a child and vulnerable adult using the Methodist Church policies.

•Recognise that there are experts within the Church to help you respond to concerns and be able to identify who is the expert in your church.

The learning agreement for the module is:

•To listen without interruption and be listened to.

•To respect the feelings, experiences and perspectives of others.

•To listen to differences in views and to question them in a constructive way that enables the group to learn.

•To respect confidentiality – unless it puts others at risk.

•To take responsibility for our own learning and to share as well as to receive learning.

•To be aware of the potential impact of the subject on ourselves and others.
