Child Protection week is 5th-11th September this year. In this time when the LCANZ is implementing the Child Safety Standards for congregations, we are perhaps more focused than previously. Recently in a NSW-ACT Interdenominational Professional Standards meeting, the below prayer was shared. I’d like to encourage you to use the prayer.
Blessings, Carolyn Kiss

- We pray for the day when all children may know safety, freedom and protection from violence and abuse, safe from any harm, where they can flourish to be all that they can be.
- We thank you for the dedication and the gifts of all who work in child care, child safety and in child protection. Guide and direct them all in their efforts.
- We ask you to strengthen our Church to be a place of safety, free of abuse, to be communities where all people can flourish in your love, trusting you as their Heavenly Father.
