Making church a fun and safe destination for kids

As part of your risk management strategy, it is important that your obligatory requirements extend throughout the entire church community.  Among the most vulnerable of church users are children and youth who require a high level of risk management. Thanks to the joint sponsorship of Conference and Prop Corp, we can offer your church a highly subsidised subscription to Childsafe, which is a comprehensive system to ensure your young people are protected in children’s ministry.

Key Benefits

Risk Management Your mandate to Care

Good stewardship stems from the churches mandate to care for others.  We have a legal responsibility to keep the community safe in public buildings.
We often see government regulation as unnecessary and expensive red tape that only adds to our workloads.  However, it is an opportunity to showcase our mission and care for God’s people in the wider community. Churches should be among the first to support such initiatives.

How Risk Management can benefit your church.

Reduce costs – well maintained property and good management extend the life of assets and increase the productivity of church ministry.  The cost of insurance is minimised through less claims  whilst our insurers recognise the value of our risk management practices.

Avoid legal action - legal action by third parties or breaches of regulation may arise as a result of neglect of our duty of care to others.

Control, monitor & review the risk itself – risk management practices aim to fix or minimise identifiable risk and make sure preventative measures we have in place are working.

Community trust & goodwill - a lack of concern for risk management can lead to a negative community image for your church which is a bad testimony for Christ and an impediment to conducting mission within your local community.

An unfortunate example of loss of community trust is where issues arise from lack of precaution and planning in the area of children’s ministry.  The ChildSafe program introduced by Mission and Ministry and supported by RedBook aims to address this area of risk management in churches.

Peace of mind for church ministers and  the leadership team - your key leaders wear the primary responsibility for church liability.  Good risk management practice protects your people from unnecessary risk exposure.
