Policies for a Safe Church

Ascot Vale Anglican Church is committed to being a safe and welcoming church for all people, of whatever age, ability, heritage and identity. We aspire to welcome, encourage and empower all to flourish.

To ensure the safety of children we have a number of policies and procedures that we adhere to, which can be accessed below. Further information regarding establishing a child-safe culture can be found at the Commission for Children and Young People website and the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne’s Safe Ministry page.

We engage Kooyoora as an independent professional standards body and comply with their findings regarding any allegations of inappropriate ministry. To read about their policies, or to lodge a complaint, please refer to the Kooyoora website.
