Health and Safety

Our Commitment

Anglican Movement is committed to creating an environment and a set of workplace and ministry practices that ensure the health, safety and well-being of all persons involved in the ministries, programmes, activities, and undertakings of our diocese. We aim to remove or reduce the risks to the health, safety, and welfare of all our team members (paid or voluntary workers - including clergy and lay leaders); contractors (when they are present at one of our sites or working for us); occasional volunteers and all other persons who access and use our sites, or who participate in our ministries, programmes, events, and activities. We will comply with New Zealand legal requirements, including the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015. We will continually improve our performance through effective safety management by establishing measurable objectives aimed at mitigating the risk of injury and illness in our ministry practices and workplace environments. Our Health and Safety Management Plan includes policies, procedures, practices, and documentation designed to meet our commitment to health, safety, and well-being.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
