Safeguarding God's Children Training - Kauai 

There will be a Safeguarding God's Children Training Class on Kaua`i on Saturday, September 29, 2012, from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, at St. John's Episcopal Church, Eleele.  The trainers for this session will be the Rev. Robin Taylor and Sue Macklin.

Safeguarding God's Children is required of all clergy, Vestry and Bishop's Committee members, and anyone (paid or volunteer) who works with children. This includes Sunday school teachers, youth group leaders, and preschool and school teachers. Anyone in a church is encouraged to attend the workshop, to increase the awareness of how to watch for warning signs of child abuse.

The Diocese uses the curriculum put together by the Church Pension Fund that describes the program as follows:  "Safeguarding God's Children provides participants with the information they need to protect the children they know and care for in their personal lives and the ministries in which they serve. The program is based on the philosophy that if every adult can protect just one child, they will forever change one life. If we can all change one life, together we will make a difference in this generation of children."
