So has your church put together its Child Protection Policy yet? And if not, why not? If anyone out there is still in doubt about the need for such a document then this excellent little book produced by the FIEC's Citizenship Committee should be at the top of their reading list.
Child protection in the church is a very thorough treatment of the whole subject of our duty to and responsibility for children, both our own and other people's. It covers such areas as: guidelines for churches working with children, our obligation to the state, maintaining discipline in children's groups, training leaders and responding to situations where abuse may be suspected or alleged.
