    What form of discipline do we use as defined by our Safe Sanctuary Policy?

    • Permissive - Complete freedom of the child is allowed. The child provides the discipline; no control or authority is given. The child is expected to derive satisfaction form the social approval that good behavior brings.

    • Authoritarian - Unquestioned obedience of the child is required. Little emphasis or explanation is given. The child is expected to accept rules unquestioningly. Emphasis is on corporal punishment for misbehavior. No attempts are made to find the reason for the misbehavior or if it was intentional.

    • Constructive: Children and youth should be made aware that appropriate behavior is expected at all events. Discipline should be constructive and reflect Christian values. Physical punishment, name-calling and belittling comments are never permitted. Adult event or activity leaders should administer discipline.

    • Discipline is entirely the parent's responisbility.

    Correct Answer
    A. Constructive: Children and youth should be made aware that appropriate behavior is expected at all events. Discipline should be constructive and reflect Christian values. Physical punishment, name-calling and belittling comments are never permitted. Adult event or activity leaders should administer discipline.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Constructive: Children and youth should be made aware that appropriate behavior is expected at all events. Discipline should be constructive and reflect Christian values. Physical punishment, name-calling and belittling comments are never permitted. Adult event or activity leaders should administer discipline." This answer aligns with the Safe Sanctuary Policy, which emphasizes the importance of constructive discipline that promotes positive behavior and reflects Christian values. It also explicitly states that physical punishment, name-calling, and belittling comments are not allowed, and that discipline should be administered by adult leaders.

    In order to report child abuse you are required to:

    • Know for certain that a child has been abused

    • See it yourself.

    • Have a reliable witness

    • Have a reasonable suspicion and are reporting in "good faith."

    Correct Answer
    A. Have a reasonable suspicion and are reporting in "good faith."
    Explanation
    To report child abuse, you do not need to have direct evidence or witness the abuse yourself. It is enough to have a reasonable suspicion that a child has been abused and report it in "good faith." This means that if you have a genuine belief or concern that a child may be experiencing abuse, you should report it to the appropriate authorities. It is important to prioritize the safety and well-being of the child, and reporting any suspicions can help protect them from potential harm.

    True/False: Physical boundaries vary on the age of a child. For example it is appropriate for a toddler to sit in the lap of an adult but not for a teenager.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Physical boundaries vary on the age of a child. This means that what is appropriate or acceptable in terms of physical contact and proximity differs depending on the age of the child. For example, it is generally considered appropriate for a toddler to sit in the lap of an adult as a form of comfort and bonding, but it would not be appropriate for a teenager to do the same. This is because as children grow older, their need for personal space and independence increases, and physical boundaries need to be respected accordingly.

    Which of the statements is NOT true.   Persons having a criminal history of any of the following types of offenses shall not be allowed to serve in any ministry with children and youth:

    • Child abuse, whether physical, emotional, sexual or neglectful

    •  Persons having a criminal history of a drug related conviction with the five years immediately prior to application shall not be allowed to participate in the event.

    • Person's with a speeding ticket.

    • All are true.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The statement "Person's with a speeding ticket" is not true because it contradicts the previous statements which mention specific types of offenses that would disqualify someone from serving in a ministry with children and youth. A speeding ticket is not considered a criminal offense that would pose a risk to the safety and well-being of children and youth. Therefore, all the other statements are true.

    Two-deep leadership as defined by our policy means that we must have:

    • We must have 2 unrelated adults over the age of 18, unless working with children (nursery-age and K-5); then a teenager is allowed to replace an adult.

    • 2 unrelated, qualified adult leaders or one qualified leader and a parent volunteer, both of whom must be 18 years of age or older, are required for all activities, trips and outings.

    • 1 adult as long as they have been trained with our Safe Sanctuary Policy.

    • Every event at Creekwood should have two leaders to run that event.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 unrelated, qualified adult leaders or one qualified leader and a parent volunteer, both of whom must be 18 years of age or older, are required for all activities, trips and outings.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that for all activities, trips, and outings, either 2 unrelated, qualified adult leaders or one qualified leader and a parent volunteer, both of whom must be 18 years of age or older, are required. This ensures that there is always adequate supervision and support for the participants, as well as a system of accountability and safety measures in place. Having at least two leaders also helps to prevent any potential misconduct or abuse, as there is always a second adult present to provide oversight and protection.

    At events that require overnight accommodations we strongly recommend that at least two adults are present in every room. However we sometimes recognize accommodations may be restrictive in some cases and one adult will be adequate, as long as:

    • The adult and youth are related.

    • Any one adult shall not be alone with any one child/youth.

    • An adult checks in on the room every 30 minutes.

    • This is never allowed.

    Correct Answer
    A. Any one adult shall not be alone with any one child/youth.
    Explanation
    The correct answer states that any one adult shall not be alone with any one child/youth. This means that it is not allowed for one adult to be alone with a child or youth. This policy is put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the children or youth attending the event. By having at least two adults present in every room, it reduces the risk of any inappropriate behavior or potential harm towards the children or youth. Regular check-ins by an adult further ensure that the safety precautions are being followed.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or to a law enforcement agency within 48 hours of time you suspect the child has been or may be abused or neglected
    Explanation
    If you suspect a child has been abused or mistreated, it is required to report it to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services or to a law enforcement agency within 48 hours. This is the correct answer because these are the appropriate authorities that have the power and resources to investigate and intervene in cases of child abuse or neglect. Reporting to the Senior Pastor, Youth Pastor, or Children's Director may not be sufficient as they may not have the necessary expertise or authority to handle such situations effectively.
