Improving our risk management
General Church Board has approved a Risk Management policy, with application across the LCANZ.
‘A fundamental principle of care is keeping people safe and being good stewards of what we have been given’, LCA Insurance & Risk Manager Lucinda Osborne said. ‘This policy is a tool to help all agencies across the LCANZ gain a better understanding of the risks around them and achieve a good risk management process to protect the people and property we have in our care.’
The policy is a high-level document, encompassing principles and aspirations of risk management. You can find support for the practical implementation of the policy in your congregational context, including risk management checklists and templates:
- Visit the online training and resource library iLearn, accessible via the LCANZ Learning Hub. Anyone with an LCA email address may access the iLearn portal. For assistance, email itsupport@lca.org.au
- For Safe Church risk mitigation specifically, visit ChildSafe’s Safety Management Online (SMO), which is a resource-rich hub for risk management resources. Anyone whose Safe Church training is current has access to the SMO. For assistance, including resetting your password, contact Professional Standards.
