Highlights of St. John's Safe Church Policy
Purpose: to protect the safety, emotional health and well being of the children and adults of the parish and to respect the dignity of every person involved in parish educational and other ministries. All covered individuals are required to sign a “Covenant Statement,” agree to a CORI check and attend appropriate training (training is offered both within the parish and in diocesan training sessions). Key procedures: Volunteers working with children shall be active parishioners who have been in the parish for at least six months. A person not yet eligible can work under the direct supervision of another person “qualified” under the Policy
Two adults must be present at all times when working with children. The Church School Director and the Rector, in accordance with the Policy, can waive this rule.
There should be no time when others cannot freely observe the activities in which children are participating and no “secret” deals or gifts should be offered to children.
Serious disciplinary problems should be referred to a child’s parents
No convicted sex offender or one who is accused of child abuse can be involved with children. If, in good faith, abuse is disclosed or suspected it should be made known, in person, to the Rector. In Massachusetts, all clergy are “mandated reporters” and thus must report any sign or evidence of child abuse to the Department of Social Services. NOTE: This is a brief summary of the “Safe Church Policy” adopted by the vestry. A copy of the full policy is available through the Parish office.
