About this webinar

Every ministry needs a clear, effective Safety System to protect children and those who serve them. A Background Check alone is not enough. To reduce risk, ministry leaders must understand the core elements that work together to create a safe environment and support volunteers and staff members.

In this session, the founders of MinistrySafe walk through the Five-Part Safety System– developed in the course of over 60 years combined experience addressing sexual abuse risk. The Safety System includes Sexual Abuse Awareness Training, Skillful Screening, Background Checks, Tailored Policies & Procedures and Systems for Monitoring and Oversight. In this webinar, you will learn about each Safety System element and how each element works in tandem to protect children and reduce vulnerability in your ministry.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• How an effective Safety System reduces sexual abuse risk in practical, measurable ways
• How each component of the Five-Part Safety System strengthens protection
• How to deploy and sustain the Safety System by leveraging technology
  

Join us to assess your ministry’s safety efforts and take the next step toward a stronger, more effective protective framework.
