Why is training important?
Volunteers in religious ministry are, by law, mandatory reporters. It is important then, you are kept up to date and supported so that you are clear on what your role is. Module 5 reviews the information of Module 2 (Cycle 1) and updates your knowledge of any legal amendments.
