About this webinar

Many ministries believe they already have child safety policies in place, but most discover gaps only after a crisis has occurred. Borrowed policies, outdated documents, or vague guidelines leave churches vulnerable and offer little real protection for children or staff members.

In this session, MinistrySafe experts clarify what subject matters Policies & Procedures actually must address, why most churches miss the mark, and how the right policies fit into an overall Five-Part Safety System. You’ll learn how to access sample forms to create policies that are practical, protective and tailored to the real risks ministries face.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What effective Policies & Procedures must address to prevent abuse
• How other Safety System elements dovetail with effective Policies
• How to access and implement effective Policies & Procedures

Join us to strengthen your Safety policies and take an important step toward a safer ministry.
