Thank you

Thank you for completing this training. If you have questions resulting from this training please contact your minister or ministry leader, or Elissa Donnellan on 0491 157 746 or edonnellan@pcnsw.org.au.

Notes:
1. Please note that BTS Online training is primarily for leaders in NSW, ACT, WA or Tasmania, or those working with national ministry organisations such as APWM and PIM. Leaders from other states should refer to their own safe ministry unit for training requirements - Victoria: www.safechurchpcv.org.au; Qld, SA and NT: pcq.org.au/safe-ministry-with-children.php.
2. Once you have reviewed the case studies in Module 6, you may find it helpful to also refer to some suggested responses.
3. In the Transport video the narrator says that "there must be more passengers in the car than there are functioning seat belts". This is an error - leaders should ensure there are sufficient seat belts for each passenger.
