What a previous attendee said:
“Despite having completed mandatory child protection training many times over the years, I found my eyes were opened to a new level. Everyone should be encouraged to participate so that whole congregations have the awareness and strategies to keep our children safe.” Sandi Barclay, Previous Attendee
