Our Policy

The Anglican Diocese of Adelaide has adopted legislation and procedures for dealing with complaints of abuse by its church workers (clergy, lay people, volunteers and employees).

Church workers are to care for, protect and respect all with whom they have a pastoral relationship, a supervisory relationship or personal contact. They are never to take advantage of their vocation or position. Abuse by a church worker is a betrayal of power and trust.
