Access training modules covering practical aspects of health and safety relevant to parish activities including engaging contractors; organising events; fire safety; asbestos awareness; and accident reporting.

Accident Reporting

Managing adverse events is an essential part of risk management, but parish teams often face uncertainty about what to report, when to escalate concerns, and how to investigate incidents, which can lead to under‑reporting.

To support dioceses, we’ve created a course tailored to parish needs, alongside our online resources, covering the types of adverse events, the actions to take when they occur, how to gather information to understand causes, and the importance of accurate records, appropriate escalation, and careful information handling.

Fire Marshal Training

Fire marshals play a vital role in keeping parish communities safe by identifying fire risks, helping to prevent fires, and supporting safe evacuation in an emergency.

This course is designed specifically for parish fire marshals. It explains their responsibilities, highlights common fire hazards that can cause fires or block escape routes, uses a realistic church fire scenario to reinforce the importance of emergency planning, and reviews handheld fire extinguishers, including when and how to use them safely.
