05 – Child Protection Policies & Procedures
We live in a broken world where sin is rife. Although we trust that there is no abuse happening in our midst, we can’t guarantee that. We don’t know the background of every child and teenager coming through our doors, nor what is happening in their homes and schools. We want our children to be physically safe and to also feel safe. This episode will give insight into child protection and safety.
