CCCM is committed to providing a safe place for children, young and vulnerable people. Therefore, for people who volunteer in guest or short-term ministry or child related roles, we require the completion of either our Safe Ministry Questionnaire by the volunteer OR this online form by a senior church leader of the volunteer. If you would refer a paper form, please let us know. CCCM will endeavour to keep all forms in a locked filing cabinet and/or in secure electronic format for at least 45 years (preferably 100 years) from the date of completion. This form is for referring organisations to confirm that a ministry guest is a person in good standing and has met the requirements of their organisation’s safe ministry processes. This includes anyone engaged in short term (less than 5 days per calendar year) ministry and child related work (e.g., guest speakers/ preachers, visiting music ministry guests, other ministry guests engaged in ministry or child related roles, or contractors engaged in child related roles). Referring organisations might include other local churches or sporting organisations.
Please note that this declaration is only valid for 12 months from the time of completion. After 12 months a member of the CCCM Safe Ministry Team will phone the senior church leader to confirm whether or not the volunteer still has current Safe Ministry training, a verifiable WWCC and any other required processes in place.
