Saturday 20th April - Safeguarding / Child Protection Training:

All volunteers involved in youth and children’s work in our congregations are invited to Safeguarding/Child Protection Training on Saturday 20th April in the Rev MA Memorial Hall, Kenneth Street.

The training will run from 10am – 12 noon (coffee from 9.45am) and will focus on Free Church policies and procedures for Child Protection and Social Media.

This training is recommended to all volunteers working with children and young people and is essential for those who have never done such training before, including Free Church Youth Camps (FCYC) leaders.

Mr Donald A Macleod (Camps Supervisor) will deliver the training and the invitation is extended to volunteers in congregations throughout the presbytery to make use of this opportunity.
