Our Safe Church Training Program has 3 Requirements:
- Watch the Safe Church Video.
Contact your parish's Safe Church Liaison (or safechurch@bc.anglican.ca or your parish's Incumbent if there is no Liaison) to arrange a time to watch the video. Watching the video must be witnessed and an attendance sheet signed by either your parish's Safe Church Liaison, clergy, warden, administrator, or Parish Council member. - Read the Diocesan Policies and sign the Acknowledgement Form. Volunteers, please read the Respectful Conduct policy and sign the A-2 Form
- Submit a Criminal Record Check (CRC) with vulnerable persons sector check.
To apply for a CRC, go to this website and enter our Access Code: T9X4DHYNLX to use the BC services app to complete your CRC request. Once completed, your CRC will go directly to the synod office. You will be contacted directly by the CRRP if any follow up is required. There is a 30-day period to complete a follow-up request. Re-application will be required past 30 days.
*If you are a volunteer and are unable to complete the online application for a CRC, a PIC obtained through your local police/RCMP department is also acceptable. You will need a letter from your parish stating that you are a volunteer and the application fee will be waived.
Re-Certification:
Re-certification of Safe Church Training is required every five years.
