In the course of ministry there is risk undertaken - risk of injury, risk of abuse, risk of allegations, and the risk of a soiled reputation. The risks are unavoidable but can be mitigated.

Plan to Protect is a comprehensive framework that serves as the foundation for your church, on which you can develop plans and procedures that effectively manage the risks inherent in children's and youth activities.

All churches should work with their governance teams, ministry leaders, insurance providers and legal counsel to develop and implement policies that protect children, leaders, and the church as a whole while encouraging fruitful ministry.
