The Gulf Atlantic Diocese has updated their policy for the prevention of sexual misconduct. Please download a copy here. Contained in it is all that your church needs to comply with diocesan guidelines for the prevention of sexual misconduct as well as reporting guidelines. 

TRAINING

All churches are required to provide training to their clergy, vestry, employees, and children/youth volunteers. Each church is required to have a trainer who can complete onsite training for these leaders. The diocese provides training for the trainer, who can then bring the policy guidelines back to the church. 

Diocesan training will be held in one session, but offered twice for your convenience. Please plan to send your church’s trainer(s) to one of the following: 

Saturday, Oct 17: 10am-12noon, EST

Monday, Oct 19: 10am-12noon, EST
