New Child Safety Standards digital resources

Two new resources have been added to the Child Safety Standards (CSS) webpage to support congregations as they implement the CSS – in particular for those who prefer to communicate messages using digital media.

The two PowerPoint resources are also designed to be helpful for congregations with limited permanent display options for posters, CSS Implementation Officer Nicole Hall says.

‘The LCA’s Child Safety Standards require that both the Statement of Commitment (Standard 1) and child-friendly information, which encourages children to speak up, (Standard 2) are on display in your congregation’, she says.

‘Taking these requirements into account, we have recently incorporated our Statement of Commitment and details from our “Speak Up” poster into PowerPoint slides. These slides can be customised to include your congregation’s name and relevant contact details.

‘We encourage you to check the resources page regularly when you are implementing your Child Safety Plan. The collection of resources we have available is growing. Even if you have implemented all of your current plan, you may like to consider whether any of our new resources would be suitable for use in your congregation.

‘We hope it is helpful for your congregation to have these resources available in an alternative format.’
