safeguarding God's children

Safeguarding God’s Children: A Program of Sexual Misconduct Prevention Training provides participants with information they need to protect the children they know and care for in their personal and professional lives.  The training sessions includes two parts; the morning portion is based on the Church Pension Fund’s program and focuses on child abuse prevention and awareness, and the second portion addresses issues of sexual harassment. and abuse prevention, both in adult and youth populations.

 

Training is required for all clergy, paid lay employees, and volunteers working closely with youth or shut-in and/or disabled persons.  This includes youth choir directors, directors of Christian education, and youth group advisors.  Clergy who have not had training in the last five years are expected to attend to renew their awareness.
