Youth and Child Protection Policy

North Congregational Church is dedicated to providing a safe environment for all children and youth who participate in our programs and use our facilities.  We have committed ourselves to make every reasonable effort to carry out specific, written policies to protect the youth in our care from abuse and inappropriate behavior by paid employees and volunteers and to respond appropriately to all allegations of misconduct. 

Background checks are run each year for all new church staff, Sunday School teachers and any others who have regular contact with our children and youth.  Updated reports are requested for anyone who has not had one in the last five years.

Copies of the written policy are available in the church office upon request.
