The materials provided are based, in part, on guidance provided by Praesidium, Inc., our business partner and consultant in matters of abuse prevention.  \nThe volume of material presented here may be found intimidating and beyond the ability or willingness of a church or camp to execute. It is the responsibility of church leaders to determine the necessary components of policy. (A significant part of the material below is guidance and sample forms.)  \nWhile this template is focused primarily on child abuse prevention, opportunities will be identified to address other issues that relate to SafeConduct™, to include sexual harassment, professional boundaries, sexual orientation, bullying and exploitation of vulnerable adults. Users will find that principles applying to abuse prevention can apply to and are easily adaptable to the other vulnerable groups although different specific techniques may apply.  \nDepending upon the nature of [CHURCH NAME], whether a church, camp, or other non-profit, you may customize terms to suit your culture. For example, you may wish to insert a variety of scriptural references. This particular policy statement is very broad and goes beyond child sexual abuse to include elements of employment practices and other at-risk groups. For example, a church may routinely provide an overflow homeless shelter where families and persons with mental illnesses are present.  \nWhile many churches use terms such as “safe church”,“safe sanctuary” or similar terms for their policies, we have adopted throughout the policy template the term SafeConduct™ . Our strategy is to focus less on a fortress place and more on the importance of personal behavior and personal responsibility in abuse prevention. While SafeConduct™ is a trademarked term, any church or non-profit camp within the denominations we serve is free to use it. Some have already chosen to incorporate it. We are pleased that you do.  \nCongregational Approval– Creating a policy for the first time will not always be easy and may take more time than expected. Some will resist the vetting and oversight that is implicit in an effective program. It will be important that you engage your congregation in the process and arrive at consensus. When it comes time to vote on adoption, the details of the policy and procedure must not be a surprise. Be sure to understand what your Constitution or By-Laws may require to obtain approval.  \nPolicy Language – Throughout this template, procedures are expressed as imperatives (shall, will) . Vague terms such as “should” or “may” are specifically avoided. Responsibility for specific actions are assigned to “individuals”(usually by title), not to groups or committees. Each individual must understand his/her specific responsibility.  \nCAUTION  \nEditing Required – This template cannot be adopted “as is.” It requires tailoring to your church/camp management and program structure and to your ability to actually fulfill its requirements. NO POLICY/PROCEDURE CAN BE ADOPTED WHICH YOU CANNOT LIVE AND FULFILL COMPLETELY.  \nCopyright Notice: This document is intended for the exclusive use of religiously affiliated organizations which are eligible to be served by Insurance Board programs.
