<p>Who is supervising the shower schedule for your youth group’s summer mission trip? How many adults are overseeing the costume changes for the Christmas pageant? I know you have two adults with your Sunday school’s 4-year-old class, but what happens when someone needs a bathroom break? How do you get your teenagers to stop going down the street for coffee during Sunday school hour? What is your plan for the day when you get falsely accused of improper conduct with children or youth?</p> <p>Whether your congregation calls it a safe sanctuary, gathering policy or any of a dozen other names, this document is your best preparation for reducing the risk in those situations and more!</p> <p>In this two-week online workshop, you’ll learn why you should have and follow an up-to-date policy, what the policy includes generally and specifically, where to go for help when needed – and what your next steps should be, including writing (or editing) a policy, if needed.</p> <p>Through readings, discussion questions, and an optional Zoom meeting, you will hear how ministers, volunteers, pastors, administrators and others are reducing their risk of abuse or false accusations of abuse.</p>
