Ministers and leaders of Full Gospel Australia will now see new frameworks in the Safe Ministries tab of the Full Gospel Australia website. The Safe Ministries frameworks for ministers, churches, and other ministry organisations partnering with FGA are:
- Safe Kids
- Safe Ministers
- Safe Boards
- Safe Volunteers
- Safe Boards
- Safe Ministers
These frameworks are Full Gospel Australia’s response to The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. This Royal Commission delivered its final report in 2017 after a five-year inquiry and 57 formal public hearings. The Royal Commission found that both public and private institutions in Australia (sadly, including churches) had historically failed to provide safe places and environments for children and other vulnerable people.
Full Gospel Australia strongly advocates for the safety of every person who attends any FGA church, ministry, and event, especially the safety of children and vulnerable people. Our Safe Ministries Frameworks are not onerous, however, they are thorough, and seek to enhance our atmosphere of safe places for people in every sphere and undertaking of FGA churches and ministries.
