Child safety in kids ministry encompasses more than strict adherence to policy and procedures. It also involves creating an environment that prioritizes communication and transparency, where kids feel safe and included.   

Bad child safety habits are often attributed to feeling overwhelmed, understaffed, and pressured to make a good impression or keep people happy by not inconveniencing them. Recognizing the cause of bad safety habits is essential to overcoming or replacing them with better ones.

Classroom emergency procedures are essential for churches and Sunday school programs. In case of emergencies or evacuations, are you and your kidmin staff prepared?

Whether you are a small church plant or a large, established program, child safety is the key to attracting new families and giving peace-of-mind to the families you already serve. 

The screening process for paid staff, a volunteer, or a leadership position is a vital piece of your church's overall safety plan and includes seven key elements. The screening process functions as a deterrent for would-be offenders and more.

With the start of a new year, it’s important to understand child safety trends and new opportunities churches can take advantage to better prepare for challenges, improve effectiveness, and increase child protection.

Children are vulnerable! That’s why as children’s ministry leaders you have the responsibility of doing all you can to protect those in your care.
