It's "all systems go" for SCSSA staff as they put the final touches to the 2025 National Safeguarding Conference which begins at 10am on Saturday 8th November in the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
The conference has attracted interest from from across Scotland with over 230 participants: clergy, religious and laypeople who will reflect on the conference theme - "Journeying in Hope: transforming the Safeguarding culture of the Church".
Keynote speakers are:
✅ Matthew McVarish, human rights activist and co-founder of the Brave Movement
✅ Stewart Stobie, Prevention Lead for Child Sexual Abuse for the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
It is hoped that the day will provide much food for thought, discussion and further action among those responsible for Safeguarding in the Church.
