At the heart of Safe Church is our commitment to:

ENSURING ALL PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD IN SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENTS.

The Safe Church training plays a vital role in raising awareness and equipping individuals to create and uphold this culture within their Congregation or Faith Community. 

This training day will fulfil the requirements for lay people and volunteers working and serving in Queensland Uniting Churches, their ministries and programs, and will cover both:

• Module 1 - Safe Church Introduction (Lay People) Understanding the Safe Church culture, safeguarding responsibilities and acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, and
• Module 2 - Safe Church Foundations (Lay People) Identifying and responding to disclosures of abuse, neglect, and grooming and the external reporting required, especially for young or vulnerable.

Reminder, in the new Safe Church training schedule, Module 1 must be completed every 2 years, and Module 2 every year.
