Safe Church Team Network Evening
On 23 May 2023, approximately 120 people joined both in person and online for the Safe Church Team Network Evening. The topic of the night was Responding to Historic Legal Claims in Your Church. There were presentations from experts in the fields of civil litigation, redress claims and also investigations related to reportable conduct. We further heard the experiences of a local church pastor who with his church have had to navigate this space. We are excited to now say that the video from this night (including the PowerPoint slides) has been uploaded to our Creating Safe Spaces webpage for you to view. Please visit the Creating Safe Spaces website HERE to view this video.
National Child Protection Week 2023 – 3 to 9 September
This year’s National Child Protection Week will continue to champion the message “Every child in every community needs a fair go – where we start matters”. This message captures the essence of the week which aims to promote a safe and supported life for every child, now and into the future. In conjunction with this week, NAPCAN has produced an activity booklet available for free download which could be a helpful resource to work toward satisfying Standard 2 of the 10 Child Safe Standards related to listening to children’s voices. This resource is available in the “For Kids” section of the NAPCAN website – Get Involved – NAPCAN.
