Safe Church

Being a Safe Church

At Lifepointe Church we firmly believe that every person matters deeply to God and deserves a safe and meaningful life. This is why we are committed to safeguarding the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of all children, young people, adults and families in our care. This commitment ensures we proactively nurture a safe culture and environment for everyone. All our staff and volunteers understand the role they share in upholding this commitment. They are empowered and equipped through a process of cross-checking and training so we can champion a safe church culture and bring hope to all generations.

Safe Church Strategy

The purpose of our ‘Safe Church Strategy’ is to enable our church’s leaders and volunteers to develop a safe church culture so that all people, involved in or attending our church’s ministries and services, are safe from harm and able to grow in their relationship with God and others. It consists of 5 parts.

Commitment

our commitment to providing a safe environment for all people especially children and vulnerable persons

Code of Conduct

authorises a Code of Conduct for all persons engaged by the church, whether staff or volunteers, who are in contact with children and vulnerable persons

Screening and Reference Checks

provides a process for screening and selecting persons who will attend or participate in ministries with children or vulnerable persons

Reporting

provides a process for responding to disclosures of harm or misconduct and for reporting to appropriate authorities

Training

sets out the training and supervision requirements for all who are engaged by the church, whether staff or volunteers, and who because of this engagement are in recurring contact with children and vulnerable persons attending the church
