On Saturday 6th July the safeguarding team held its Annual Safeguarding Event at Holy Trinity School in Barnsley. The theme of this year’s event was Diversity & Trauma and looked at how social, cultural and other diversity issues play a part in the traumatic experiences of individuals.
The event was well attended and feedback received so far has been very positive. Bishop Ralph opened and closed the event with a prayer. Catherine Bailey, Chair of the Safeguarding Committee talked about the outcomes of the recent audit and how we will continue to strive for improvement as we implement the recommendations made in the report.
A number of guest speakers provided really inspiring presentations on various topics including, domestic abuse, honour-based abuse and spiritual and ritual abuse and human trafficking, which was presented via zoom from speakers located in America and New Zealand. We are extremely grateful to all who attended and hope that you found the day interesting and informative.
