Training & Development Resources
We’re pleased to have partnered with Cademi Training to give parishes access to a wide range of online learning and development opportunities. The platform offers more than 1,000 courses, covering everything from new starter induction pathways and management training to food hygiene, Martyn’s Law for venues and neurodiversity.
The DBF has purchased a group subscription for parishes, which can be used to support staff, volunteers and those who have responsibility for managing employees, including PCC members undertaking a line management role.
We hope parishes will find this a useful and flexible resource, whether you are bringing a new member of staff on board, developing management skills, meeting specific training needs, or investing in the development of your staff and volunteers.
If you would like access, or would like to find out more about what training is available for your parish via this online platform, please get in touch by emailing Parish.Training@chichester.anglican.org.
