Whyte Ridge Baptist is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all children and teens that participate in our programs. There are a number of things that go into providing such an environment. It takes more than committed and enthusiastic volunteers to accomplish this.
WRBC’s Commitment to Safety & Security
One of the most critical aspects of providing a safe and secure learning environment is having a clearly defined Plan to Protect program in place. All volunteers are required to go through a screening process that involves the completion of a written application form, training, a personal interview, reference checks, Child Abuse Registry Check and a Criminal Record Check.
In addition to the initial screening of all volunteers, WRBC conducts a Plan to Protect Refresher Training session each year. The refresher training is required of all volunteers who work children and teens. This means, that in addition to those who work directly in children’s ministry, volunteers in The Wave (Middle School), The Way (High School), those who do child care for English Conversation Circles, the family meals and seminars, etc. need to attend.
Times & Dates
Here is the schedule for upcoming Plan to Protect Refresher Training sessions. If you cannot come on your designated Sunday, please be sure to come on the alternate Sunday. Groups are designated for specific Sundays because of space limitations. The smaller groups of workers also allow for more meaningful discussion around similar age groupings.
Please mark your calendars!
