Join us on Tuesday 24th September for the Ballysillan ROC Conversation - book your FREE place online at www.roc.uk.com/ballysillan.

Across the faith sector multiple internet security breaches have been reported – everything from personal data stolen from individual places of worship or faith-based care homes and websites hijacked to promote anti-religious messages in faith schools.

An informal event for faith groups and organisations to connect over a cuppa to discuss a big idea.

An informal event for faith groups and organisations to connect over a cuppa to discuss a big idea.

This online discussion is open to all who are concerned about attacks on places of worship arising from vandalism or religious intolerance. The aim of the consultation is to hear the views of faith communities and to collate ideas about what can be done to address this significant problem.

‘Grounded’ is a networking opportunity where, over a cuppa the aim is to think about our practice as those who concerned about ‘faith in the community’ – the aim is to ‘ground’ a concern or issue by sharing it with others, discussing it and deciding what more could/should be done to develop the idea.  When sacred trust is brokenlives are damaged, so is it possible to create healthy cultures in the faith sector? In this ‘Grounded’ conversation, Leigh will reflect on the challenges she faces as a Safeguarding Advisor with ‘thirtyone:eight’ after which there’ll be an opportunity to share views about this important practice issue.  

Now more than ever our lives are being shaped by an institution many Northern Ireland citizens don't really understand.
