THE COURSE
Breaking the Silence: Foundations Training is a the safe ministry training course used within the Presbyterian Church to be completed every three years by any person in a position of authority within the church, including all those working directly with children and young people. It has been developed to address the issues relating to abuse within a church context and our right response in preventing such wrongdoing from occurring in our ministries.
The BTS Foundations Online Training is the same course, delivered via video modules that cover each of the six training sections. It has been designed to be done either in a group or as an individual.
