Protection Policy (Children's Version)

2.

If a person, in good faith, reports suspected abuse they can be found liable by civil authorities and/or the church if the incident is later dismissed.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

If a person reports suspected abuse in good faith, they cannot be found liable by civil authorities and/or the church if the incident is later dismissed. This is because reporting suspected abuse in good faith is seen as a responsible and necessary action, and individuals should not face legal consequences for trying to protect others.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Volunteers who fail to report suspected abuse may face legal consequences such as imprisonment or fines.

All suspected abuse shall be immediately reported to (choose one)

The child's parent or legal guardian
The senior pastor
The executive pastor
The ministry leader

Correct Answer

A. The ministry leader

Explanation

The correct answer is the ministry leader because they are responsible for overseeing and managing the activities within the ministry. They are likely to have the necessary knowledge and authority to handle cases of suspected abuse appropriately. Reporting to the child's parent or legal guardian may not be effective if they are involved in the abuse or unaware of it. The senior pastor and executive pastor may not have direct involvement in the day-to-day operations of the ministry, making the ministry leader the most suitable person to report to in order to ensure swift action is taken.

Volunteers reporting suspected abuse must file a written report within (choose one):

24 hours of the reported abuse
48 hours of the reported abuse
One week hours of the reported abuse
An oral report is sufficient and no written report is required

Correct Answer

A. 48 hours of the reported abuse

Explanation

Volunteers reporting suspected abuse must file a written report within 48 hours of the reported abuse. This means that volunteers have a maximum of 48 hours to submit a written report after they become aware of suspected abuse. This timeframe ensures that the report is made in a timely manner, allowing for prompt action to be taken to protect the individual who may be experiencing abuse. Filing a written report is necessary to provide a detailed account of the suspected abuse and any relevant information for further investigation or intervention.

Correct Answer

A. The pastor of that ministry

Explanation

The pastor of that ministry should be included to listen to and, when appropriate, view the evidence when a child wants to discuss any abuse. The pastor is a trusted authority figure within the ministry and can provide guidance and support to both the child and the volunteer. They can also take appropriate action to ensure the safety and well-being of the child, such as reporting the abuse to the civil authorities if necessary.

Two or more related unsupervised volunteers in a room are acceptable.
Two or more unrelated staff/volunteers should be present in a room at all times.

Correct Answer(s)

A. Two or more unrelated staff/volunteers should be present in a room at all times.
A. Two or more related volunteers can serve in a room if there is a supervisor to check on them at unexpected intervals.

When a child requires bathroom assistance, a female volunteer (choose any that are correct):

Can assist the child with the door ajar.
Cannot enter the bathroom.
Can assist the child after closing the door to safeguard the child's privacy.
Must call a ministry leader to assit the child.

Correct Answer

A. Can assist the child with the door ajar.

Explanation

A female volunteer can assist a child with the door ajar when the child requires bathroom assistance. This allows the volunteer to ensure the child's safety while also respecting their privacy. By keeping the door slightly open, the volunteer can provide the necessary assistance without fully entering the bathroom. This approach maintains a balance between safeguarding the child's privacy and ensuring their well-being.

If a child wants to share sensitive information in confidence with a volunteer, the volunteer must honor that confidence and not share the information with anyone else.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because if a child wants to share sensitive information with a volunteer, the volunteer has a responsibility to report it to the appropriate authorities.

If a child approaches a staff/volunteer to give them a hug or to ask for a hug, they must refuse the child in order to protect themselves and the church from possible abuse accusations.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because it is not necessary for a staff/volunteer to refuse a child who approaches them for a hug or asks for a hug in order to protect themselves and the church from possible abuse accusations. Instead, it is important for staff/volunteers to establish appropriate boundaries and follow proper protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of both the child and themselves. This may include using alternative forms of physical affection, such as high-fives or fist bumps, or redirecting the child's attention to other activities.
