16. Child Protection Policies

$4.95

Teacher: Becky Fischer, Director of Kids in Ministry International

Protecting our children and teens in churches and other ministries should be a top priority. In this day, where our cultures increasingly normalize immorality, it becomes more complicated. In this session, you will learn what you need to do to set up protection in your church building or facility, how to vet new volunteers and workers, and where to go to learn about the importance of check-in systems, and mandated reporting. We will discuss sensitive issues like what to do when a known sex offender starts attending your church. And we conclude with a discussion of some of the signs and symptoms of child abuse.

Even if you are the only one on your ministry team taking this course, you need to ensure your entire team watches this video. Permission is granted to use the MP4 download to share with your team.

Remember, this is a huge topic, and all we have had time to do in this short session is bring up the various issues you need to know about. But it is then up to you to seek other resources and agencies to give you more thorough information and help train your team.
