Safety

In a world where the vulnerable continue to be exploited, the Church must take action in safeguarding the physical, emotional and spiritual health of every person in its care.

EMMANUEL AS A SAFE PLACE

We want everyone to have confidence in their safety when engaging at Emmanuel. This includes their physical safety during an emergency and protection against abuse.

CHURCH SAFETY PLAN

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

It is of utmost importance that we safeguard children and youth from any form of misconduct. This includes screening, training, interacting, monitoring and responding with care.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY POLICY

REPORT MISCONDUCT

Anyone who observes or experiences sexual harassment or any kind of wrongdoing at Emmanuel can and should report it. Our church wardens prioritize communication and care to all parties involved.

REPORT OF MISCONDUCT

Briefly describe the misconduct/improper activity and how you know about it. Specify: WHO? Who is involved? Who else knows about the improper activities? Who can and would confirm that they occurred? How can we reach these witnesses? WHAT? What specifically did the suspect do? What kinds of documents would provide evidence of the improper activities? Where are the documents located? Who controls them? WHERE? In which location/s did the violation occur? WHEN? When did the improper activity occur? Is it ongoing? How frequently has it occurred? HOW? How did the wrongdoing occur? Was there a lack of controls, circumvention of controls, or collusion with other individuals?

EVIDENCE

To the best of your ability, please describe how an Emmanuel investigator could locate supporting documentation. (We ask that you do not attempt to obtain evidence for which you do not have a right of access. As a whistleblower, your role is “reporting party,” not investigator.)
