New Health and Safety legislation impacts us all...!

​New health and safety legislation has come into force on 4 April.  This will affect Churches and the way we engage with our people on a daily basis. In response, the InterChurch Bureau (ICB) is holding information workshops nationwide to help churches work through what the changes will mean
for them.  We will also provide Resources to assist.

Health and Safety Workshops

ICB has been active in observing, analyzing, and reviewing developments in the proposed health and safety reforms. ICB is also taking steps to keep all Christian Churches up to date on developments.  To this end ICB has organised presentations that cover the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
