Professional and Policy Standards
From our central office we have
- The ministerial standards unit which includes both the disciplinary unit, and Continuing Professional Development for staff.
- Excellent insurance cover
- Policy support - especially around "Safe Churches". This umbrella policy covers off all activities, and all our interaction with vulnerable people. The major emphasis is on our practices around children and their safety while they are in our care.
Governance Standards
We have adopted Christian Management Australia's Core Standards for governance to guide our decision making, HR and business functions.
Mentoring and Supervision
Through both our Journey Mentoring and general pastoral care program, we maintain a close and structured watch over all church operatives. Each week, the heads of our main activities meet for mutual accountability and personal growth.
Mandatory Reporting
We wil report any issue of actual or potential harm to the relevent authority. While we will aim to empower al people involved in such a process, we are under the same laws and regulations as any community group in Queensland. We do not have an option NOT to report. Given the nature of our outreach - we have developed relationships with legal firms who are able to asist our people (on both sides of reporting.)
