General Church Board has approved a Risk Management Policy, with application across the LCANZ.
‘A fundamental principle of care is keeping people safe and being good stewards of what we have been given’, LCA Insurance & Risk Manager Lucinda Osborne said.
‘This policy is a tool to help all agencies across the LCANZ gain a better understanding of the risks around them and achieve a good risk management process to protect the people and property we have in our care.’
The policy is a high-level document, encompassing principles and aspirations of risk management.
You can find support for the practical implementation of the policy in your congregational context, including risk management checklists and templates via the following means:
- Visit the online training and resource library iLearn, accessible via the LCANZ Learning Hub (lca.org.au/training-events/lcanz-learning-hub/). Anyone with an LCA email address may access the iLearn portal. For assistance, email itsupport@lca.org.au
- For Safe Church risk mitigation specifically, visit ChildSafe’s Safety Management Online (SMO) (childsafe.org.au), which is a resource-rich hub for risk management resources. Anyone whose Safe Church training is current has access to the SMO.
