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.
