Why is Sexual Abuse Awareness Training required for all volunteers and staff who work with minors?
Sexual abuse of minors is a widespread problem. The more people recognize the warning signs of a sexual abuser, the safer the minors of your church will be. The solution for preventing sexual misconduct is to create an atmosphere where all staff members and volunteers who work with minors know what to look for, how to interact appropriately with minors, and how to respond if a sexual misconduct incident should occur. Training is an important avenue for the prevention of sexual misconduct.
