This is a great opportunity to raise awareness about safeguarding in your local church in a positive and friendly manner.

Here are just some of the benefits of holding a service...

This is from the thirtyone eight promo video.  

Last year churches who took part reported:

• better positive awareness of safeguarding among church members increased numbers of people feeling able to talk about their abuse for the first time .
• additional people volunteering for safeguarding and children's and youth work roles .
• more people completing safeguarding training and criminal record checks
• more  safeguarding leads feeling supported in their role by the church

So why not organise a safeguarding service this year?

Keep Sunday November 19th 2023 free or choose another date to focus on safeguarding. 

Here is our new Safeguarding Sunday 2023 service for you to download.

If you missed last year's date you don't have to wait until November 2023. You can use the resources or film below from 2022 to raise awareness about safeguarding in your local church now. Here's some feedback from a church who used the film last year:

"We appreciated the opportunity to use the film prepared by the Panel for Safeguarding Sunday . It was a very convenient way to  emphasise the importance of safeguarding  within the church, and the fact that it was in film form raised the profile of safeguarding in a more effective way than would have possible coming verbally from a church leader."

The panel will be adding some new bilingual resources for 2023 soon but you can also register with Thirty one eight     Safeguarding Sunday | Thirtyone:eight (thirtyoneeight.org) now to access their full range of resources and safeguarding Sunday activities .
