Affiliated churches and agencies are responsible for developing their own local policies and procedures in line with CCVT policies, the relevant state based legislation, and Australian Standards.
CCVT endeavours to provide advice, samples, templates, and guidance where possible.
Safe Places Policy
This is the umbrella policy under which all CCVT safety policies and resources sit. It applies to every individual, congregation, and organisation affiliated with CCVT and forms a minimum standard of safety. Communities are encouraged to formulate their own policies that build on this base to reflect the needs of their context.

A Child Safety and Wellbeing Policy is a requirement under Victorian Child Safe Standard 2, and is a recommendation under Principle 1 of the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.
