A new version of the DVD is currently under production. Level 2 is a three hour training session for those working regularly in the church with children, young people and adults at risk as well as for Designated Persons and those in a leadership capacity, including trustees, deacons, elders and ministers. As well as providing participants with a sound basic grasp of safeguarding, realistic practical applications are considered. Level 3 is a three hour training session going into greater depth for Designated Persons and leaders as above (who have already completed Level 2). Level 3 uses powerful scenarios to help you test out your understanding and your church’s procedures.
