Child Protection

CHILD PROTECTION

Good intentions aren’t enough to keep children safe. Whether you’re leading an organization or directly engaging with families, every program that serves vulnerable children and adults needs clear safeguards, policies, and response protocols. This course helps you build them.

Rooted in both biblical conviction and global best practices, this training walks you through a 6-step roadmap for developing and implementing a comprehensive child protection and safeguarding policy. You’ll gain the tools, templates, and clarity you need to take meaningful action—and to make protection central, not peripheral, to your work.
