The Child Safeguarding Policy Guide For Churches And Ministries – Book Review
If you are a part of a church of ministry, one of your top priorities should be to ensure that any child that is in any way associated with your organization is safe – but how do you go about doing this?
Developing a comprehensive policy is challenging – but Basyle Tchividjian and Shira M. Berkovits have written an outstanding book called The Child Safeguarding Policy Guide For Churches And Ministries that every pastor, ministry leader, church administrator and parent should read!
The Child Safeguarding Policy Guide For Churches And Ministries is a handbook that’s designed to help churches and faith communities walk through a wide range of scenarios to help them assess their level of preparedness to handle a child sexual abuse crisis and to formulate the policies and procedures needed to help ensure safety for the children under their care and supervision.
Written by a renowned, multidisciplinary team of child safety experts from GRACE and edited by Boz Tchividjian, the director of GRACE and a lawyer and former child abuse prosecutor, the book covers vitally important topics including the warning signs of abuse, how to respond to abuse allegations and care for victims, and the legal implications and requirements for churches and Christian ministries.
While The Child Safeguarding Policy Guide For Churches And Ministries is written primarily for Protestant Christian churches and ministries who want to formulate child safety and abuse prevention policies and procedures, this book contains invaluable information about how predators operate and how to support survivors that make this important reading for anyone involved in childcare.
The Child Safeguarding Policy Guide For Churches And Ministries is a book that every church and ministry should read and put into practice.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars!

This is a book I think every church needs.
With today’s generations of people wanting to sue their neighbor’s, churches would be wise to take extra safety measures.
