Proven practices can prevent the next tragedy from occurring on your watch.
The leading reason churches are sued is over sexual misconduct. Let that sink in. This often-unaddressed vulnerability has tattered the reputation of pastors, churches and nonprofits. And everyone thinks “it could never happen here.” The record, however, demonstrates this is wishful thinking or even denial.
How can churches and nonprofits become a safe haven for children? It begins by acknowledging the risk. We can’t fight what we won’t admit exists. From there, a trifecta of screening, training and policies can lead an organization to a hard-earned reputation as a place that truly cares about child and youth safety. This webinar will help churches starting from scratch as well as those who are seeking continuous improvement.
Topics will include:
Understanding the real risk of abuse.
Effective screening of volunteers and employees.
Training volunteers, parents, and children.
Creating policies that work – and enforcing them.
The role of insurance.
Attitudes and behaviors that sabotage child protection efforts.
