Safeguarding Initiative

Looking for comprehensive training and safeguarding best practices?

GRACE’s Safeguarding Initiative is a customized 4-6 month program designed to help your church, school, or faith-based organization implement safeguarding best practices as well as further a culture of protection where abuse is prevented and survivors are supported.

During the Safeguarding Initiative, a GRACE Safeguarding Specialist walks you through a comprehensive process that includes: 

• In-person expert training for every level of the church: Leadership, Adults, Youth, and Children,

• Creation of a Safeguarding Team to help implement customized policy best practices

• An on-site building risk assessment designed to find areas of vulnerability and address them

• Specific next steps to create a healing environment for survivors

Safeguarding Initiative Cohort

Does your denomination or network want to go through our Safeguarding Initiative together?

A Safeguarding Initiative cohort is three to six churches who agree to go through the Safeguarding Initiative together over six months. This allows the cohort to do some elements of the Safeguarding Initiative together and save costs, while drawing support and insight from a wider community of believers.

Policy Review & Development

Need to develop a new protection policy or update an existing policy?

GRACE offers a range of tailored policy review and development services designed to meet your specific needs. Policy services include short verbal reviews, in-depth written reviews, and developing new policies from the ground up. Whether you're refining existing guidelines or creating new ones, our highly experienced team is here to help you build a safer, more accountable community.

NOTE: our policy review & development services are included in our Safeguarding Initiative. However, some churches and organizations may wish to seek policy review and development as a separate service.

Training & Speaking

Want to train your community on abuse prevention and response? Seeking a speaker for your conference?

GRACE offers a variety of live trainings both online and in-person. Our trainings are interactive, comprehensive, and conducted by experts in the field. The length and topics can be tailored to your organization and can be recorded for future use.
