Having a safe environment for children within PCQ is a priority. As such, all children’s ministry programs or activities as well as people involved with these programs or activities within PCQ must be approved by Session, Presbytery or the relevant Committee.
Part of this approval includes a risk assessment for all activities, and a risk management plan for any higher risk activities or Special Events (i.e., off-site and overnight). This is done in consultation with the PresSafe Safety Administrator. If an activity is deemed too high of a risk, it will not go ahead. The following table is intended to assist in determining the risk level of activities:
If you have any questions about a program or activity in a local Presbyterian church, please contact the Ministry Coordinator or Minister of that church.
Camp Directors and any others organising adventure activities must use the Risk Assessment and Management Plan available on the PYK website: RAAMP
