Safe: Providing Safer Settings and Ministries

Safe

Our fourth module is still in the development stage, but it focuses on making sure your youth ministry is a "Safe Sanctuary" for youth.

Some of the topics we'll explore are:

  • Selecting and doing background checks on leaders.
  • Putting a Safe Sanctuaries policy in place, or modifying an existing one.
  • Staying safe during trips, retreats, and special events.
  • Communicating with your congregation the need for a Safe Sanctuaries policy.
  • Legal issues regarding churches and safety.
  • The forms of abuse: physical, emotional, ritual, and sexual.
  • Lots more!

Additional details about this module will be forthcoming soon. We'll be offering this module in Fall or Winter, 2009-2010.
