As you may know, Safeguarding God’s Children Training is a vital aid in the prevention of abuse in children. This training is mandatory for anyone working with children, for all paid staff, and for all vestry members. Sunday school will begin in most of our churches soon, so we want to provide everyone with the opportunity to complete this important training beforehand. Because the training will be offered on three different days, hopefully there will be a time and date that works for you. We will need to limit these trainings to 25 participants in order to make them more manageable. Of course, we also are happy to consult with any clergy in the Diocese who are interested in leading trainings on their own.

Reminder: If you have lay people in your congregations that have taken the in-person training within the last three years, they will only need to complete a refresher course online in order to stay current. The online refresher course is now available on a new website called Praesidium Academy. If you didn't receive an invitation to sign into this new site in mid-July, you will need to contact us for assistance.

The registration links for the different dates are below. Participants must register for these trainings no later than the day before each date. Please send this information on to anyone that may need the training.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email Cindy Spice at safeguarding@ednin.org.
