On 17 and 18 December 2009 another 15 Ark staff, artists, interns and volunteers were trained on the Keeping Safe Programme in child protection by The Ark’s General Manager (Keeping Safe Cascade Trainer). Participants will receive their certificates this week.

The Ark will run further Keeping Safe programmes for our artists, part-time staff, interns and volunteers in 2010.

All Ark full time staff have completed the course.
