Safeguarding Courses
At our recent National Council meeting we reviewed the need for Safeguarding Courses for all branches, and the recommendation from our Child Protection Officer was, that all branches would look for at least one volunteer to undergo the online course. Could you please seek volunteers for this course to ensure that we are abiding by the necessary recommendations. This course is essential for any branches who operate "Kid's Clubs" at their meets.
The course that they would need to do is Tulsa's Children First E Learning Programme and takes approximately 1.5hrs to complete.

Our Child Protection Officer is Eileen Thackaberry, and she would be happy to host a Zoom meeting and answer questions for any volunteers.
