Safe Sanctuaries Update
Staff Parish Relations Committee continues to work on our Safe
Sanctuaries program. The next milestone is to complete arrangements for
background checks on all our teachers and caregivers for children and
youth before the July 21st start of Vacation Bible School. SPR is also
planning for an adult discussion group or Sunday School class in the
fall, to address our program and also the broader topic of protecting
our kids from child abuse in community settings. (Do we recognize signs
of child abuse? Know how to report child abuse when we witness it or
reasonably suspect that it is taking place?)
SPR would like to hear any comments, concerns, questions, and
suggestion about the program and about a class.
