The Conduct Protocol Unit has been established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales to serve the Church in responding to matters of abuse.
Our vision is that individuals, congregations, presbyteries, organisations, and committees with PCNSW will act in a God honouring manner that fulfils the Presbyterian Church of Australia’s commitment to safe ministry, having had the best possible training, support, advice and resources provided to them in relation to safe ministry and abuse matters.
The CPU serves the Presbyterian Church of Australia in:
- New South Wales
- Australian Capital Territory
- Tasmania
- Western Australia, and
Mission Partners:
- Australian Presbyterian World Mission
- Presbyterian Inland Mission
The CPU receives complaints and allegations of abuse and misconduct within the Presbyterian Church and affiliated organisations and has oversight of handling and responding to these complaints.
The CPU also ensures churches are compliant with child protection requirements by delivering and providing support regarding BTS training.
