Safe Church Awareness Workshop Ballarat

Be trained and equipped to ensure your church or agency is a Safe Place for everyone. CCVT recommends that all leaders and volunteers including pastors, elders, deacons, leadership teams, ministry leaders, pastoral carers and those working with children, youth, or vulnerable adults attend a Safe Church Awareness Workshop as a pre-requisite to ministry in the local church.

👤Presented by TBC

Topics include:

• Foundations and principles of a safe church
• Protecting vulnerable people—definitions, indicators, and response procedures
• Information about training, recruiting, and supervising safe leaders
• How to establish and run safe environments for church ministry programs

Safe Church Awareness Workshops are facilitated by trained presenters, hosted by local churches, and attendance is recognised by members of the National Council of Churches in Australia Safe Church Program.

Please note: This workshop involves discussion and definitions of different types of abuse. The topic of abuse is a confronting issue. CCVT advises that whilst Safe Church Awareness Workshops strive to present information in a respectful and sensitive manner, some components may be disturbing.  If concerned, please discuss the situation with your pastor or contact the event organiser before attending.

This workshop is not suitable for persons under 15 years of age.
