Who needs to be on the Implementation Team?

  • Pastor
  • Member of Staff-Parish Committee
  • Member of Board of Trustees
  • Lay Leader
  • Person(s) responsible for children and youth ministries
  • Representative from each group that works with children and youth (may include Sunday School, fellowship groups, choirs, and others)
  • Representative from parents of children and youth (have at least two parents from separate families as a minimum recommended number)
Should our policies involve more than protecting against abuse?

Yes. As churches develop safe sanctuary policies and procedures, risk management should also be taken into consideration. Creating guidelines and policies for use of church vehicles, use of automobiles for trips, proper safety planning, safe retreats, proper trip and medical forms to fill out before trips or special events, and the list goes on. As you think of Safe Sanctuaries, think of creating safety in all aspects of your ministry with children, youth and the adults who work with them.
