Safeguarding Children

A training and orientation protocol for all Avant members, employees and volunteers.

This brief training and orientation protocol is required by every active member, employee, and volunteer in Avant every couple of years.

Avant Ministries seeks to provide a safe and secure environment for the children who participate in our ministries and activities. This includes children of members/employees as well as children who are the beneficiaries of Avant ministry and outreach. By implementing this training and related protocols, our goal is to protect children from incidents of misconduct or inappropriate behavior while also protecting our members, staff and volunteers from false accusations.

Total estimated time to complete this training = 30 to 40 minutes.
