FAQ: What should we do if we see parents disciplining their parents in a way we would consider "inappropriate"?
A: Plan to Protect
® recommends sending an email/letter out to all parents at the beginning of the program year, spelling out the discipline laws, listing examples of inappropriate discipline, and putting parents on notice that they have a legal duty to report these actions. Add suggestions and encouragement on appropriate forms of discipline.That will both inform parents, and make them aware of their legal duties.

How do you KNOW you have a plan to protect?
I was recently interviewed by
Faith Today magazine
and they asked, "how many organizations and churches have a plan to protect?"
My hope is that every organization and church that serves the vulnerable sector, would have some sort of a plan to protect but not all plans are the same, nor do they all adhere to the same standard.
As we review and customize hundreds of policies and procedure manuals a year, we see such a wide variety of policies including:
- Policies which range from one page to 500 pages;
- Policies which address only sexual abuse, to policies that cover all types of abuse and neglect; and
- Policies which are designed only to protect children, to policies that protect all vulnerable persons.
...you never have to do it alone. Why recreate the wheel when we are committed to helping you by providing tools, training and momentum to stay abreast of best practices.

What are people saying about the courses?
"I was so impressed not only by the level of the content that was presented but also by the level of support! Emails and phone calls answered in a timely fashion and every person that I spoke with was over the top happy to help. It has been a joy to do this training."
"You would not believe the notes, ideas and planning that is taking part in my brain! Early on there was shock at how we had missed the boat on this and failed to protect our children and vulnerable adults; then regret. Now there is a feeling of purpose and hope for our training! ...Thank you!"
"The reason we use Plan to Protect
® to train in Abuse Awareness and protection is because of their excellent reputation which will bring community trust. Our organization spends a great deal of time and energy vetting our volunteers, Plan to Protect
® will give that added measure of trust to ensure that the reputation and integrity of our organization is taken to the next level by the community who might not be aware of how we bring volunteers into our organization."

Case Study: Firing a Volunteer
Naomi and Ron were long time volunteers in their church.
Their greatest delight was serving in the church where they had grown up. It was at this church where they had met, were married, where their children had been baptized, and where they had held their parent's memorial services. Ron and Naomi had both served on the committee and leadership team for the mid-week youth program.
When a new Executive Pastor was hired they were thankful the Senior Pastor now had the help he needed. However, Ron and the Executive Pastor had different opinions on how decisions would be made. The Executive Pastor began making decisions without the involvement of his committee. Ron defended his long time volunteers and valued their input. Ron raised concerns, but the Executive Pastor ignored the concerns.
