Child Protection Courses

The Synod requires volunteers involved with programs for children and young people, especially leaders, to attend a 3.5 hour training session.

Ministers, youth workers. SRE teachers and those staff who have contact with children should also attend this training.

Topics that will be considered in the following workshops include:

• Why does abuse happen?
• What is appropriate behaviour towards children in SRE?
• What does the law actually say about abuse?
• How does a church make sure its volunteers are safe people?
• What happens if a church volunteer is accused of doing the wrong thing?
• When do you need to report something to DoCS?

Please contact Janet Scott janets@nsw.uca.org.au to organise a training date for your group.

2010 Training dates coming soon!
