DID YOU KNOW?

 Teach Children to Say,
“Stop It”
 
Child safety tip: Teach children to say, “Stop it,” to instructions that might encourage them to do things they really do not want to do. Reinforce the rule that children should say, “Stop it,” to requests or demands that make them uncomfortable, even if they think they should obey. A discussion of these rules can teach a child that there are some times when it is okay to say, “Stop it,” and other times when it is okay to go along with the instructions.

 SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP SAM JACOBS

"Providing a safe environment for the children of our diocese is a prime concern of these guidelines. The children are treasures of our families and of our church. They are gifts from God that we are called to protect and we must enable them to develop into their full potential, as God sees in them. As a diocese we are committed to providing a healthy, loving and an up-building environment for the children that we, along with their parents, are forming into the future adults of our church and society. We owe this to the children."
