Child Protection Policy

International City Church strongly opposes any kind of child abuse. We are committed to the safety, protection and wellbeing of all children and young people from all forms of abuse and neglect, and actively seek to prevent its occurrence. We make every effort to provide an environment of safety and support for all children and young people.

ICC has a comprehensive children and young people protection policy in place which encompasses training and education of staff, volunteers, church partners and parents on dealing with all forms of child abuse, and risk minimisation strategies to prevent abuse from occurring within the ministries of the church.

The policy provides guidelines to volunteers, leaders and staff on how to promote care, safety and protection of children and young people at ICC, and clear directions on how to respond and deal with a situation of child abuse and neglect in an effective and consistent manner. We also work closely with government agencies with regard to Working with Children Checks, and have in place clear guidelines and policies wherever abuse against a child or young person is disclosed or suspected.
