Our Safer Churches Guidelines provide a framework and direction for ensuring we meet or exceed our legal and organisational obligations as we carry out our various ministry roles.
These guidelines provide direction on a range of domains, including: compliance with WHS legislation and food safety, through to creating safe spiritual and emotional environments in ministry programs and events, and protection for young people at risk through standards of supervision, program approval, volunteer processes, and reporting.
In order for us to function safely in our communities, we are guided by the process of risk management as we take appropriate action to minimise risks that may arise in the course of our ministry activities.
