Statement of Commitment

At our Church, we believe it is important to respect and treat everyone as unique individuals created by God, and to give special attention to the care, protection and wellbeing of Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults.

Our church is committed to being a safe space for all and will provide a supportive environment by:

• ensuring staff and volunteers are appropriately screened and trained and behave in a manner that resembles and represents Christ’s attitude and approach;
• providing safe environments and ministries that promote spiritual, social, and physical safety and personal growth and development; and
• promoting a culture of safety throughout the Church, constantly communicating, and reinforcing our commitment across all aspects of ministries and activities.

We have zero tolerance for any form of abuse or harm to Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults and are committed to actively seeking to prevent this abuse and harm. This includes maintaining an open and aware culture, treating all concerns and allegations raised seriously, not minimising the impact of abuse and harm on the victim, and promptly responding to all concerns and allegations.

The Church is dedicated to providing safe spaces for everyone and are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities under the Mandatory Requirements set out by the Queensland Government Blue Card System.
