Child Protection for SRE

Teachers and others who work with children get regular updates on child protection. SRE teachers need them too. What’s more, people who teach SRE in state schools don’t only need to be aware of child protection issues from schools’ perspective. They also need to know what the church says about such things.
For further information and for 2010 Training Dates, visit the Safety and Protection page.
