Completion of the Safeguarding Training provided by Adsafe is one of the essential elements required for those in child-related or governance roles in the local Church. The Training is designed to strengthen awareness and build the knowledge, skills and capacity of our churches to safeguard children and the vulnerable.
Currently our Training is available for everyone serving in child-related or governance roles within Seventh-day Adventist church entities across Australia and New Zealand.
This training was previously known as Awareness Training. If you have completed Awareness Training in the past, the Safeguarding Training is the equivalent training under its new name, with content that has been completely revised and updated (as of 3rd August 2026).
Where to access the Safeguarding Training
There are three options for accessing the Safeguarding Training:
- Complete the 'Safeguarding Training' module using the online training portal
- Attend a Zoom training session delivered live by an Adsafe trainer
- Attend training delivered face-to-face by the Adsafe team at a special event, for example a conference Big Camp
All training options are suitable for persons completing training for the first time or renewing their previous training. Safeguarding Training (previously known as Awareness Training) is valid for 3 years.
Online in the Adsafe Training Portal
The Safeguarding Training is available online in a self-paced training module and can be accessed 24/7 online
Live Zoom Training Sessions
All training sessions are suitable for anyone in a Church Governance role (Church Board/Leadership Team) or Church Volunteers in a child-related role.
Registrations can be made for individuals or groups. If your church is needing to train a group of volunteers, select the group option on the registration form.
Registrations will close 5pm on the Thursday prior to the training session. Once registered, you will be emailed the Zoom link the day before the session. Attendance sheets will also be emailed if a group booking was made.
