Professional Standards

The Anglican Diocese of Newcastle takes allegations of misconduct and abuse seriously.

Professional Standards Protocols provide formal procedures for handling complaints of misconduct.

We welcome and encourage people with concerns to come forward by speaking with a contact person.

Contact persons are trained to listen, will maintain confidentiality, can help you to understand the processes involved and if required, can assist in documenting the complaint.

If you would like to speak with someone please phone 1800 774 945.

 

Please visit the General Synod Website for further details on Professional Standards.

You can download the relevant Diocesan policies below.
