Shady Grove United Methodist Church’s Child Protection Policy
- Shady Grove UMC desires to provide a caring and secure environment for children and youth in all phases of church life and to protect the employees and volunteers of SGUMC from false allegations of misconduct.
- To that end, SGUMC has adopted a Child Protection Policy (CPP).
- The CPP applies to all people associated with SGUMC, including staff, volunteers and non-SGUMC users of the property.
- The CPP includes provisions regarding the use of screening forms, background checks, training, open classrooms, appropriate classroom management and supervision and other procedures designed to protect our children, youth, volunteers and staff.
- The SGUMC Trustees oversee the CPP and regularly review the CPP and confirm compliance with the CPP.
- If you have any questions regarding the SGUMC CPP, please contact the church office.
