Culture of Safety report to Feb 2021 Synod includes:

A core principle of being a safe church is making sure our leaders are well resourced and understand the principles and practices of child safety. Safe Church Training is a key way we seek to live out this principle. It is three years since the most recent version of Safe Church training began, using a train the trainer method. This meant new leaders could be trained  locally  in  a timely  way and that  appointed leaders across the Synod have undertaken this important training. We thank those who facilitated this training -either in a congregation or presbytery, including those who adapted the training to deliver it remotely. In planning new Safe Church Training for 2020, conversation with the NSCU and the other synods led to an  agreement  to develop  national  Safe  Church  Training  that  will  meet  the  National  Child  Safe Principles (as well as the Victorian Child Safe Standards). The Culture of Safety Unit has worked with the  NSCU  and  representatives  from  other  synods  to  develop  a  number  of  Safe  Church  Training modules that will be available from late February 2021. The primary mode of delivery will be via the Assembly Learning Management System (LMS). This will allow anyone required to compete this training to do this online at their own pace, at a time that suits them.  The  LMS  will  keep  a  record  of  who  has  successfully  competed  training.  All  active  ministry agents and most appointed leaders will be required to complete this training during 2021. The Culture of Safety Unit  will provide  advice on  who has to complete  what modules and  when once the training program is finalised.
