Thanks for making Emerge Church a safe church for children and vulnerable people.
The 2026 Reportable Conduct Legislation requires all volunteers to report suspected or harmful behaviour to under 18s, so if you see or hear any of this behaviour (see below) please make a report.
What is Reportable Conduct? Conduct that must be reported under the Act is –
a) a child sexual offence;
b) sexual misconduct
c) ill-treatment of a child
d) significant neglect of a child
e) physical violence committed in relation to, or in the presence of, a child
f) behaviour that causes significant emotional or psychological harm to a child.
For more information please check out the Qld Family and Child Commission www.qfcc.qld.gov.au

Our general guidelines for first aid and incident management remain unchanged. If you are unsure of these procedures, please consult your Dept leader.
Our Safer Churches Committee contains representatives from all locations' key departments. Please chat with a member of the committee or your Location Pastor if you need more information.
(Our volunteer code of conduct details our expected behaviour towards each other no matter our age. Reportable conduct legislation specifically applies to the safety of Under 18s.)
