The faith forum is open to all sectors to attend, to provide a platform for networking and enable solution-focused conversations to strengthen the faith sector’s response to safeguarding.

There are also opportunities to hear from our guest speakers, inputs from network members and a space for learning through interactive discussions and sharing of good practice, but also promoting new areas of work.

We know the faith sector is increasingly being recognised as a key safeguarding partner agency and we want to continue and promote this, as we recognise the influence that faith has on communities.
