The Lutheran Church of Australia Commitment to Child Safety
The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) is committed to providing a safe church environment for children and young people. The LCA acknowledges that children are a precious gift from God, with special vulnerabilities, that they require nourishment and nurture in their spiritual development and that they are to be protected from all forms of abuse.
The LCA also affirms that it has no tolerance for child abuse and that all its people have an important responsibility to care for children and to keep them safe. The way we care for children reflects our genuineness of faith. It is also a reflection of God’s love and his divine protection.

LCA Safe Place Policy


A Safe Place For All

Picture
Sexual abuse by people in positions of trust has a destructive impact on the lives of many many people. Such abuse is totally unacceptable to the church and to society as a whole. Those who hold positions of trust in the church are called to guard with great care the trust placed in them. They have an absolute responsibility to avoid all forms of sexual harassment and abuse.

The LCA Safe Place Committee has established a confidential service for responding to complaints of sexual abuse/harassment by church employees and leaders. Trained advisors are available to help.
