churches of Christ – Creating Safe Spaces v4 Online Module

Welcome to Creating Safe Spaces training

This version of Creating Safe Spaces has been adapted into a context for churches of Christ in NSW & ACT (CCNSWACT).

This online course will take up to 2 hours to complete. You can complete it over multiple sittings.

Content Note: Please note that this training addresses sensitive issues including child sexual abuse, elder abuse, and domestic violence.  This content may cause some distress to some participants.

We encourage you to pause and contact appropriate pastoral care if you begin to struggle with any of the material.

In addition, we note that some of the material may make you feel uncomfortable, especially if it challenges your past assumptions and practices.

Practical notes: Please ensure that you click on all the “Marked Complete” buttons at the bottom of each lesson and topic so the system can remember your progress. Each page has a timer that ensures that you have spent a minimum duration engaging in the content before a page can be Marked Complete.

To progress through the online training, you will need to use the navigation buttons at the bottom of each page.

For accessibility purposes, we have included subtitles for each video in this training course. Subtitles will automatically appear in our videos, but you can choose to turn them off if you prefer. If you prefer to read a transcript, rather than watch the video, you can click the ‘Transcript’ button to view the text.

We have included links to external resources within this online module (usually marked as Optional Reading). The inclusion of links in this course does not imply endorsement of all of the content provided by these authors. We encourage participants to exercise godly discernment and wisdom as they consider this information.

Also, don’t forget to register to attend a workshop after you complete the online module. If your church has not asked you to attend a specific workshop, you can find other workshops here.

We look forward to seeing you at a workshop soon!
