Child Safe is a church wide program that provides standards, training, resources and an online data base to manage a church’s people and programs.

The system has a strong emphasis on preventing the maltreatment of children and responding appropriately when child abuse comes to light.

Child Safe also assists us in planning safe activities and programs using a risk management framework.

In addition to outlining how we provide safety for children and how we respond to complaints, the system covers a broad range of topics such as:

• An Emergency Response process.
• Screening and recruiting.
• Duty of care issues, with a code of practice for working with children and young people.
• Supervision and work within a safe team.
• Signs and indicators of child abuse, responding sensitively to disclosure of abuse.
• Dealing with suspicions, disclosures and allegations relating to child protection issues.
• Transportation and water-based activities as a particular risk focus.
• Hygiene, medical safety, infection, food handling.
• Accident and incident reporting, processing and analysis.
