Community Education Programme

AFRUCA works in partnership with a range of community and faith based organisations to improve knowledge of child safeguarding and how to keep children safe from abuse and harm.

  • This 3 hour session aims to improve understanding of what is child abuse, signs and impact, uk laws on child protection, why children and abused and AFRUCA's 20 ways to be a great parent without smacking. This is delivered by our volunteer Children's Champions at the partner's place of worship free of charge, although we may ask you to meet our travel costs, if there is a bit of a distance from our two offices.

  • This specialist half day training course for workers and volunteers in faith organisations aims to support workers to gain a stronger understanding of safeguarding and how to improve policies and practices to ensure children attending are safe and safeguarded. It explores the basics of child protection, explores cultural and religious practices that can be harmful to children attending, conducts a safeguarding risk assessment and develops a code of conduct for workers/leaders. This training is delivered by our trained staff and charged at £500 per session plus our travel and accommodation costs. Certificates of participation will be provided for participants.
