Safe Ministry at Holy Trinity
We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of children at Holy Trinity. As part of that commitment, our ministry staff; all of our leaders in children’s and youth ministry; as well as parish councillors and wardens, must have a Working with Children Check and current Safe Ministry Training.
Our Process
Obtain a WWCC and send your number to our office along with your date of birth (which is essential for us to verify your number).
Ask the office for a free access code for Safe Ministry training. If you need a quick response, cc: Zac or Jono as our office is manned part-time.
Complete the online safe ministry training and then email your certificate to the office.
Note: the safe ministry training takes a few hours and then there is a webinar at the end. It can take several weeks until a webinar becomes available. This means you should start your training ASAP.
Familiarise yourself with our church safe ministry policy.
After you complete your safe ministry training, you will need to complete the Safe Ministry Check with Zac our Senior Minister. You will be sent information about that separately.
Working with Children Check
The Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a requirement for anyone who works or volunteers in child-related work in NSW. It involves a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct.
The application costs $107 for paid workers and is free for volunteers.
Safe Ministry Training
Safe Ministry training is part of the Diocesan Safe Ministry to Children Ordinance 2020.
It requires that all clergy and church workers (paid or volunteers) undertaking ministry to children and youth, complete Safe Ministry training every three years. This training is also beneficial for those involved in ministry to other vulnerable people.
