Safe Ministry
To demonstrate God’s love and care for others, appropriate leaders follow best practices in safe environments.
At MHAC, we count it a privilege to serve children, young people, and other vulnerable people from the community. Accordingly, we practice Safe Ministry.
Our leaders have:
-
A verified Working With Children Check
-
Safe Ministry Training Certificate
-
Safe Ministry Check
Should you wish to discuss any aspect of our Safe Ministry arrangements, please don’t hesitate to contact Jeremy Vickers, our safe ministry representative, here.
"There is no place whatsoever for sexual abuse or other misconduct in the life of our churches. I am committed to ensuring the Sydney Anglican Church has a consistent culture of safe ministry through regular and up-to-date training and resourcing of clergy and lay church workers. The Office of the Director of Safe Ministry promotes the practice of Christian ministry in accordance with the highest Biblical standards of respect and care."
