Safe Church – Child Safe Information
#8 Our risk management has a child safety focus.
Our pastor(s), other leaders, employees, and volunteers have the knowledge and skills to identify and reduce risks to children in relation to physical and online surroundings, church programs, activities and events, as well as church related outings.
Record Keeping
We use the ChildSafe™ safety management system to document risk assessments and safety plans for all congregational programs and activities involving children, including worship services. Activities do not proceed without ‘Permission to Proceed’ from our Safe Church Coordinator.
