    Christian Safeguarding Services' Paul Harrison joins Gavin to talk through 5 common challenges with safeguarding in churches:

    1. Poor governance

    2. Low standards

    3. Conflicts of interest

    4. Not raising low level concerns

    5. Lack of professional curiosity

    We absolutely loved learning from Paul and are so grateful for his time and expertise. This is definitely an hour well spent!
