Cost: £39.99 per person (member rate)/ £44.99 (non-member rate)
This webinar is for those who have a responsibility for pastoral care in a faith setting. Many churches are now finding that traditional pastoral care models which rely heavily upon ministers, church leaders and paid pastoral workers are changing, and many are seeking to re-imagine pastoral care models that develop the roles of all members. This course will explore the safeguarding issues surrounding pastoral care in the Church and Christian organisations.

This interactive webinar lasts 2.5 hours and is delivered over a morning or an afternoon. 

The course will be presented by one of our team of professional and experienced trainers and will include presentation slides, film clips and small group exercises to help delegates learn the content effectively.

The session is delivered at a steady pace for those who are familiar with safeguarding terminology.
