Plan to Protect
The issue of physical and sexual abuse remains the number one concern for organizations and institutions entrusted with the care and safety of children. The sad truth is that North Americans are no longer shocked by almost daily stories in the media uncovering instances of abuse committed against children in the care of boys’ and girls’ organizations, sports associations, daycares, schools, campgrounds, churches, orphanages, shelters and group homes.
What a difference it would make if organizations and individuals across the globe would all commit to meeting the same strategic standard of care!
Creating consistent policy for the protection of vulnerable people should be an ongoing priority for organizations and institutions. Risk management and child and youth protection must be among the daily tasks juggled by busy managers, staff and volunteers. To the parents whose children are in your care, it is your most important duty.
Plan to Protect® will help you achieve this standard of care in your church. Please contact Melodie Bissell at 905-884-KIDS (5437) or visit the website www.winningkidsinc.ca for further information.
