New Zealand

Welcome to the NZ Child Safety resource and information site. We encourage everyone to read and be familiar with the information provided here.

As outlined in the prior update at the end of March 2025, we have been progressing our NZ based child safety information.

An updated Child Safe Policy and Code of Conduct along with a Reporting Procedure have been externally reviewed. A copy of the Code of Conduct is provided below and the Child Safe Policy and Reporting Procedure will be available shortly once finalised.

Resources for those affected by sexual harm can be found under the “Supporting those impacted by Abuse” tabs below.

All NZ workers have signed the updated Code of Conduct and completed MinistrySafe child safety training, which includes an assessment to ensure course content was understood. Police checks have also been completed for all NZ Workers.

Further work is underway relating to the management/handling of allegations and this information will be added here in due course.

Your continued support is appreciated as work continues to build a safer fellowship.
