Resourcing Ministry

 

The National Safe Church Unit is coordinating the Resourcing Ministry Agents Project which will deliver a suite of guidance and information tools for Ministry Agents. These tools are being developed in consultation with key stakeholders across the Church. They will be sufficiently flexible to enable implementation and use at the local level and will also provide for a nationally consistent approach to strengthening the Church’s commitment to be a safe Church for all people.

Tools will be hosted on this website once available.
