Safe Church — Training Video Screening Sept 28
Ensuring St Philip Church is a safe place for everyone is a priority. To this end, the Diocese requires some of us to watch a 30-minute training video, get Criminal Record Checks done, and read & acknowledge the relevant Diocesan Safe Church policy documents. It's pretty simple and easy to meet these requirements but it applies to:
- all clergy, wardens and employees;
- anyone handling money;
- anyone supervising children or vulnerable people;
- anyone who has a key or code for church access;
- anyone in a named position.
If you think you need Safe Church training, please contact our new Safe Church Liaison, Ceal McLean at safechurch@stphilipvictoria.ca and she will help you fulfill the Diocese's requirements.
The Safe Church Training Video will be shown in the church immediately after the 9:30 service on September 28. It takes half an hour. You only need to see it once.
Safe Church training needs to be renewed every 5 years, so if you have fulfilled the requirements recently, you don't need to do it again — at least not this year!
