Hucklow Summer School Mission Statement (continued):
It is our intention that HSS should be organised and run in a professional manner. It is essential that HSS is a safe and caring environment. To this end, we are committed to provision of a named "Minister of the Week" for pastoral care, and to the widespread use of group covenants which help to maintain a safe space during our main small group activities. There are also a number of clear holding structures for the week, including a carefully planned and balanced timetable, and a formal support structure for the supervision of small group facilitators.
It is our hope that participants will be inspired and challenged by their experience of HSS to develop and promote religious education activities back in their own congregations and communities. For this reason, we aim to model best practice in all aspects of HSS, and hope that it will set a good example to those who go on to initiate activities in other settings. We actively encourage participants to offer activities at summer school, in the optional afternoon and evening sessions, and consider this to be an important part of developing our religious educators and community leaders of the future.
