Safe Church Policies and Practices

It is a right expectation that Christian Churches should be safe places for all people. It is also a right criticism that Christian Churches (of all flavours and varieties) have not always met the standards communities expect in the protection of those who are vulnerable in their care.

Because we seek the safety of all in our community, we have these things in place:

• We have engaged the services of Safe Ministry Training, to train our leaders and inform our policy and practice.
  
• We have developed and adhere to a Safe Ministry Policy.
• Our leaders are all screened and appointed after relevant checks (employment history, Vic Govt Working with Children or equivalent).
• Our leaders agree to our Code of Conduct, and are reviewed according to this.
  
• We have appointed Safe Ministry Supervisors to ensure our policy and practices are implemented.

Feel free to read over our policy and practice documents, which are located to the side.
