Safe Ministry
All people have the right to feel safe at church
At Deep Creek, we are committed to creating a community that is safe and welcoming for all people. We all have a role to play in keeping children and other vulnerable people safe.
Volunteer Training and Screening
All staff and volunteers working at Deep Creek Anglican Church have undertaken Safe Ministry training.
People working with children also have a WWCC, police check and have undergone reference checks.
If you have questions about our volunteer processes and training, please contact Rachel McConnell rachel@deepcreekanglican.com.
Additional Safe Ministry information can be accessed through the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne website.
