Our Statement of Commitment

Cairns South Baptist Church is committed to providing a safe environment for all and will do so by:

• Ensuring staff and volunteers are appropriately screened and trained and behave in a manner
  that resembles and represents Christ’s attitude and approach.
• Providing safe environments and ministries that promote spiritual, social, and physical safety
  and personal growth and development.
• Promoting a culture of safety throughout the Church, constantly communicating, and
  reinforcing our commitment across all aspects of ministries and activities.

We have zero tolerance for any form of abuse or harm to children, young people and vulnerable
adults and are committed to actively seeking to prevent this abuse and harm. This includes
maintaining an open and aware culture, treating all concerns and allegations raised seriously, not
minimising the impact of abuse and harm on the victim, and promptly responding to all concerns
and allegations.

The Church is dedicated to providing a safe environment for everyone and are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities under the Mandatory Requirements set out by the Queensland Government Blue Card Services.
