Documents
This document has been written to
inform our Victorian Baptist Churches of the rules, regulations and
guidelines of their Duty of Care. It is written with many aspects of
church ministries in mind, particularly in the area of working with
children, young people and other groups of vulnerable people within our
society.
The Baptist Union of Victoria expects
the document to be read in detail by all church leaders (including
volunteer leaders) and that recommendations contained in it will be
followed.
The document is primarily to ensure
that our ministries are provided in a safe, loving and ethical
environment but it will, when followed, provide support for churches in
the event of allegations against leaders within their church.
We urge all church leaders to engage in this very important issue of
Duty of Care so that we can be sure that Our Church is A Safe Place.
