Living Faith Church Commitment
The Church Council strongly encourage all LFC members who are on rosters of any kind to have WWCC cards and to attend Safe Church training in order to make a strong statement that at LFC we value the safety of our children and those of our congregation at risk.
We commit to the following actions to keep children safe:
• We embed a culture of child safety and ensure that policies and procedures are implemented
• Encourage the training, supervision and support of employees and volunteers
• We adopt and implement evidence-based standards to recruit and screen employees and to engage volunteers and others who work with children
• Encourage access, equity and diversity
• Manage risk, promote safety and respond to concerns
• Actively explore opportunities for child, family and community participation
This summary is an abridged version of the Uniting Church and Churches of Christ clear commitment to zero tolerance of child abuse, and the creation of a safe and just culture.
