Child Protection Awareness Days in 2008

These one-day courses are designed to offer a basic grounding in Child Protection understanding and good practice, and are intended for parish staff, children's and youth workers, parish child protection representatives and clergy who wish to refresh their knowledge.

Thu Sep 11 Torbay (Torquay)
Fri Sep 12 East Devon (Ottery St Mary)
Mon Sep 15 Exeter/Mid Devon (Crediton)
Thu Sep 25 West Devon (Plymouth)
Fri Sep 26 North Devon (Braunton)

These full-day sessions explore the nature and impacts of Child Abuse, its effects on individuals and communities, and the role the Church can play in preventing, promoting or permitting abuse.

The sessions then deal with the practical application of Child Protection policy in a parish situation, from best practice in youth and children’s activities to managing administration.

Please email child.protection@exeter.anglican.org if you would be interested in attending one of the 2008 training days as there is an application form that will need to be filled in.

Engaging Spirituality @ the Gathering 2008

Iis The Gathering, at Swanwick Conference Centre in Derbyshire, from 30th May to 1st June 2008; it takes “Spirituality” as the theme – personal, sharing among the church traditions, and sharing with those outside the churches. It is picking up on the themes being explored during Lent, not least in Radio 4’s Sunday morning worship. More information is available on http://www.churches-together.net/Group/Group.aspx?id=64527. I would like to encourage local Churches Together groups to sponsor a representative from their area.

Please visit http://www.churches-together.net/Group/Group.aspx?id=64527 for more information.
