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.

How many men face mental health challenges due to work or life stressors but feel unable to talk about them? Statistics show it is a lot more than we may even realise. Recently, Jo Chamberlain from Lutheran Media’s Messages of hope sat down with Chris Battistuzzi from Scripture Union and had a raw and honest conversation about the mental health challenges many men face today.

From working in ministry to wrestling with his own mental health, Chris shared the importance of talking and connecting with others. ‘You just feel so helpless. You feel that there is no way out, you feel like I am so totally stuck in this place,’ Chris says. His advice? ‘Don’t suffer in silence.’
