CHILD & YOUTH SAFETY

Glow Church is committed to providing an open, welcoming and safe environment for all children and youth. Children are entitled to be safe and protected. They have the right to be respected, listened to, and to have their particular needs addressed in Church activities. Ministry where children are involved requires absolute trustworthiness.

Glow Church loves and values children as Jesus did. It is a privilege to teach and instruct our children and contribute to their understanding and love of God. Glow Church has procedures relating to Children's/Youth Ministry to ensure the safety and welfare of children and youth in our care, and to minimise the risk of anything detracting from our mission
of 'Building Christ's church by proclaiming God's word'.

To ensure the safety of children and youth, we:

• carefully select and screen Children’s/Youth ministry workers
• adopt and encourage safe ministry practices by our ministry workers
• provide appropriate safe ministry training for all Children’s/Youth ministry workers
• ensure a clear reporting procedure is in place, and respond promptly to any concerns or complaints
• regularly review safe ministry policies and procedures.

Children & Youth Team & Leaders at Glow will:

• be familiar with, and provide leadership in line with, Glow Church's safe ministry policies and procedures
• maintain a current working with children clearance (QLD Blue Card Check) and safe ministry training
• be provided an induction, training and supervision by ministry leaders
