This is aimed at Stewards; Trustees; vergers and others with responsibility for the safe conduct of church events.

The modules outlined below can be combined in various combinations to make a training programme that is most suitable for your needs. In putting together a full days programme it is not anticipated that any individual learner would need to attend for the whole day. It may also be possible to run some modules in tandem. In this way we can put together a training event that makes the most cost effective use of time and resources. The timing and content for an event will be developed following a consultation meeting and we will then provide a quotation and tailored course specification for your acceptance.
