Child Safeguarding
All ecclesias are strongly recommended to implement their own Safeguarding Children Policy and review it regularly. The AACE policy, adapted for each state, is a recommended model. Please also read the relevant guide to the implementation of this policy. Note that ACT and TAS versions have additional reference to children and vulnerable adults due to legislative requirements.
