CONTEXTUALIZED WISDOM
Guidance for Specific Situations
Organizations often need contextualized wisdom on specific situations they are facing. GRACE consultations are conducted via phone or video call to listen and assist churches with responding to specific questions.
GRACE consults on any topic related to abuse or misconduct, including:
Responding to current or past allegations of
abuse,
harassment, or
other misconduct
Responding to a known sex offender
Strengthening organizational health and culture
Adapting prevention to respond to emerging needs (e.g., COVID)
The consultation will start with a brief summary from your organization including a statement of any key questions or concerns. GRACE will ask any clarifying questions. GRACE will then give a brief analysis of what we are hearing. Your organization will then be free to ask any further questions. GRACE will end with clarifying any recommendations. Most consultations are able to be completed in one hour and do not establish an ongoing relationship.
PLEASE NOTE:
The consultation does not enter your organization into any formal legal relationship with GRACE. GRACE provides your organization with their initial observations and possible approaches concerning the situation in question from a perspective that prioritizes the vulnerable. GRACE is not a law firm and any statements made by GRACE are not to be construed as legal advice. This brief consultation does not give GRACE enough time and information to advise on all facets that the situation may present, and our consultation is limited by the details of the situation as it is presented to us.
Reaching out to GRACE does not replace reporting alleged or suspected child abuse to the proper authorities.
