Public Commitment to Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable People
Our Commitment
Brisbane Afrikaanse Kerk is committed to the safety and equity of vulnerable people, including children and young people, all nationalities, the elderly, people with disabilities, and people with all health challenges.1
As an organisation that works with children, we are committed to the National Child Safe Principles. We seek to embed the safety of vulnerable people in organisational leadership, governance and culture.2
We seek to ensure that physical and online environments promote safety and wellbeing for all involved.3
We are committed to ensuring that all our volunteers and staff are appropriately screened and trained.4
This includes;
-
Signing a Code of Conduct.
-
Referee Checks.
-
Working with Children Checks.
-
Training in how to keep vulnerable people safe.5
It's important that everyone in our community, including children and young people, are informed about their rights, and participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously.6
Added to this, we want families and communities to be informed and involved in promoting the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable people.7
Raising Concerns
We encourage people at all levels of the organisation and in our community to report any concerns they have about the safety and wellbeing of people. We are committed to handling all concerns seriously, legally and in a child-focused way (if concerning children).8
If you have any concerns about the safety of someone at Brisbane Afrikaanse Kerk we strongly encourage you to share your concern with one of our Safe Ministry Contacts.
