The Safe Church Health Check is an application to the Baptist Association who will then conduct an audit of your church’s policies, procedures and practices against the 10 child safe standards. Passing the Safe Church Health Check represents best practice and gives comfort to your church that you are meeting your obligations.
Passing the Health Check demonstrates best practice, giving confidence that your church is meeting its legal and moral obligations to protect children. It reflects the church’s commitment to promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual safety and creating a culture that supports child wellbeing and prevents harm.
