Volunteer Declaration

Your declaration is part of our commitment to ensuring our volunteers uphold our duty of care to all people, and to fulfil our legal and insurance requirements. If you are unclear as to any of the statements in this document, please seek clarification from your team leader before signing.

I have read and agree to abide by the following Volunteer Code of Conduct *

Codes of Conduct are a part of our commitment to emotionally and physically safe environments, an expectation of our Child Protection Policy, and a commitment to providing appropriate duty of care, including health and safety considerations. This Code of Conduct outlines the requirements and expectations for all paid and volunteer workers in ACC Churches and associated activities. We recognise that volunteering and working in the context of a local church is a transformative process and are committed to treating all workers with respect and facilitating worker growth where necessary.

1. SCOPE - This Code of conduct applies to all workers in Dalby Christian Family Church Ltd, whether in a paid or volunteer position.

2. COMMITMENT - Workers shall uphold all relevant State or Territory legislation applicable to their role. They shall abide by, and implement all church or associated event policies, procedures and guidelines. Workers are expected to seek clarity in circumstances where the guidelines, processes or instructions are unclear.

3. SERVANT HEARTED - All workers are servants of Christ, who should endeavour to become servant leaders as modelled by Jesus (John 13:3-14). The misuse of authority can be a particular temptation when being given a position of trust and power – this must be avoided.

4. BEHAVIOUR - Workers:
 are expected act in the best interests of those we serve.
 shall not be abusive in any way toward others, spiritually, emotionally, physically or sexually, including
domestic and family violence.
 shall avoid the use of offensive language (e.g. swear words, sexual connotations, racial, religious or gender
related slurs).
 shall exercise caution with all potentially addictive behaviours and/or harmful substances. Drunkenness is
never acceptable.
 shall refrain from using any illicit substances.
 are expected to understand and implement appropriate behavioural boundaries between themselves and
those we serve, including using caution when initiating or receiving physical contact with those we serve. This
includes gestures of comfort as such gestures can be unwanted or misinterpreted.
 shall act with sexual integrity. Sex is a gift from God and integral to human nature.
 shall not transmit, download or store any communication that is discriminatory, harassing, derogatory,
obscene, sexually explicit, pornographic, defamatory, threatening, for any purpose other than specifically
relevant to their position, for the purpose of reporting to an authority or to comply with a legal direction.
 shall report their concerns of harm or risk of harm according to ACC Safer Church Guidelines.
 are expected to treat all people fairly and in accordance with ACC and local church policies, guidelines and
position papers.
 are expected to communicate with integrity, including accountable and wise use of electronic
communication.
 are expected to acknowledge when they are out of their depth and do not possess the required skill set in
difficult pastoral situations, (e.g., a person who needs professional counselling) and seek help from a team
leader or church leader.
 shall not take property belonging to others, including intellectual property (copyright).
 shall disclose potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest in relation to their church role. (e.g. possible
financial gain; existing personal relationships)
 are expected to be open to correction and to act with humility by appropriately modifying their behaviour so
as to not discredit the gospel.

5. FINANCIAL MATTERS - Workers shall not seek financial gain from their role or misuse their personal church relationships for financial gain. Workers are expected to steward property and finances related to their role with accountability, transparency, and integrity and report any concerns they have in relation to these matters.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY - Confidential information shall not be disclosed and must be treated with the utmost care. Exceptions include:
 when disclosure is required by law,
 harm or risk of harm notifications whether required by law or not,
 there are concerns for the safety of the person or others,
 in accordance with the entity’s privacy policy,
 or when the information is in the public domain.
Disclosure is a serious matter and the assistance of a team leader or church leader should be sought.

7. COMMITMENT TO TEAM MINISTRY - Workers:
 Are expected to embrace the vision, values, and mission of the Church or associated activity, and continue to
develop ministry skills through a variety of means including team meetings.
 shall undertake the training required for their role.
 are expected to be accountable to team, watch out for each other and protect each other’s integrity.
