The Diocese of West Missouri will host a safeguarding training event at Christ Church on Monday, February 25, from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Youth Room.
Safeguarding education helps us to be better prepared to detect and prevent sexual misconduct. Some positions require this education but all volunteers/members are encouraged to take an active part in being better prepared to protect the dignity and worth of every human being.
Alternatively, safeguarding courses can be taken online and are both free and informative. Let us know your interest and we will get a user id and password set up for you to access the courses.
