New Year means new volunteers

As you begin this year, there will naturally be turnover of volunteers and new volunteers assisting in the ministries of the church, in particular to children, young people and those who are vulnerable.

It is critical to ensure that you implement screening practices for all volunteers, and ensure that they have a valid Working with Children Check or Working with Vulnerable People Check as they begin their roles.

The New Year also provides a time to review current volunteers, and ensure that all requirements are up to date, including various safe church training attendances, have agreed to and signed the Safe Church Policy and Code of Conduct and their relevant Working with Children/Vulnerable People Check is current.
