The Presbyterian Church of Australia in NSW has committed to the Breaking the Silence policy, procedures and Code of Conduct. We want everyone to be safe.
If you have been made aware of or suspect misconduct or abuse you need to report it. You should notify the CPU and the appropriate authorities.
Get started with safe ministry by registering your WWCC. You can also download our info sheets, posters, templates, forms and resources for implementing Breaking the Silence in your church.
If you are suffering abuse of any kind, we are here to support you. If you are helping someone else through abuse issues, you may also need support.
BTS Foundations Training is required every 3 years for those in positions of authority and anyone working with children or young people.
Do you have a question about WWCC requirements? Not sure if you need to complete BTS Training? You might find the answers you’re looking for in the list here.

The Conduct Protocol Unit has been established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales as an expression of the Church’s commitment to providing all congregations, presbyteries and affiliated organisations with the best possible support, advice and resources in relation to abuse matters more broadly.
The CPU serves the Presbyterian Church in several states as well as supporting mission partner organisations.
