Throughout 2007 and 2008 the Conference of Religious in Scotland and the National Office for the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults have embarked upon a series of regular events for the Link Co-ordinators. This programme has been extremely influential in disseminating the safeguarding message to congregations resident in Scotland.

The value of the Link Co-ordinators events has been evident in the self audit process 2007.   Almost 100% returned forms and the quality of information on the form was a tribute to the Executive for the Conference of Religious and the National Office who made individual contact with the congregations subject to audit.
