The Executive Committee of the Union approved the formation of a Standards Unit, as a functional unit within Baptist Union Administration.
The key objectives of this unit are:
- Educate ministry teams and church leaders on how to do Child Safe and Child Friendly ministry
- Promote awareness amongst churches of the need for their space to be regarded by their community as a Safe Space. By safe in this context we mean a space where people with physical, mental, social, emotional or spiritual disabilities feel comfortable and most of all, safe.
Many of the above deliverables are covered by the Creating Safe Spaces recommendations, workbooks and workshops.
