AEA Child Safety Policy

Australian Evangelical Alliance Inc.’s (AEA) recognises that Christians are called to be holy, as God is holy, and that a Christian’s manner of life should reflect to the world both God’s holiness and love. We read that Jesus has a special place in his heart for children; we are told to emulate their faith, and we are warned against hindering them in any way. 

AEA ministries are committed to protecting the safety of all people within its programs, ministries and events.

We will not tolerate harm to any person, especially to a child or young person.

 All people, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, disability and family or social background have equal rights to this protection. All people (including children) have the right to be respected and valued as well as feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe at all times. 

 Our policy has been developed to uphold this commitment to building a culture that promotes and encourages a well-being and safety of children and to adhere to National and State legislation and regulations.

Child Safety Policy is aligned with the Ten National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, drawn from the work of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and endorsed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in 2018. These Ten National Principles are considered better practice for all organisations working with children. These principles are in Appendix 1.
