Volunteers involved as PSSOs, Acolytes, Ministers of the Word, Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, Wardens, Catechists, Family Group leaders and carers , youth ministries such as Encounter, Elevate and Antioch and in Outreach must:

• provide a Working With Children (WWC) number for verification by the Parish.

• complete an appropriate Safeguarding Training course, followed by Refresher Training every three years.

• sign a Code of Conduct Form.

• complete a Volunteer Registration Form.

Other volunteers no longer need to provide a WWC number for their role. However, in the ongoing quest to develop awareness of Safeguarding and its significance across the Parish, some volunteers must still:

• complete an appropriate Safeguarding Training course, followed by Refresher Training every three years

• sign a Code of Conduct Form.

• complete a Volunteer Registration Form.

New volunteers will be advised of the specific requirements for their role when they apply.
