Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) Induction Course


This stand-alone course is aimed at any person taking on the role of Parish Safeguarding Officer and / or for existing Parish Safeguarding Officers.

The aim of this course is to equip learners with an understanding of the role of the Parish Safeguarding Officer and induct them into key working practices and relationships. It is delivered over a 3-hour session. There is a short piece of reflective work to complete afterwards. Feedback so far indicates that this course is assisting in empowering PSOs to understand their role and provides a networking opportunity to develop relationships with the DSO and other people in the same role as you.
