An update from Denise Muschamp, the District Professional Standards Officer

2022 will be a busy year for Safe Church activities in our District.

At this time, many congregations are holding their AGMs or have recently held them. Now is a good time to review the training status of all persons appointed to roles within the congregation. Where training is required, I urge members to register for one of the scheduled workshops or for online training. Information about persons required to train and all workshops registration information is on the LCA Safe Church Training page Safe Church Training – Safe Church Training – Lutheran Church of Australia (lca.org.au)

If your congregation is interested in hosting a workshop, please let me know.

Training records for all members are held on the Safety Management Online database. At present there is an error with the traffic light system in SMO. Please disregard the traffic lights and use the detailed training notes instead. We are working with the SMO administrators to resolve this issue. Please ring or email Denise (details below) to clarify training status if you are unsure.
