-Updates-

0:00:05.923,0:00:09.542
Thanks for your participation so far[br]in the Safe and Secure training.

0:00:09.776,0:00:10.844
Before we conclude,

0:00:10.844,0:00:15.048
I wanted to take a few moments[br]to call out some very significant topics

0:00:15.048,0:00:19.219
that pertain to our prevention strategies[br]and give a few important updates.

0:00:19.319,0:00:22.059
These areas are ones[br]that are utilized frequently

0:00:22.059,0:00:24.190
and where we often[br]get the most questions.

0:00:24.290,0:00:25.839
I'm thankful for the questions

0:00:25.839,0:00:28.561
because that means we are working[br]to put into practice

0:00:28.561,0:00:32.085
prevention methods that can lower[br]the risk of harm to our children.

0:00:32.565,0:00:36.796
First, I want to call your attention to Go[br]Method in our screening for volunteers.

0:00:37.237,0:00:41.441
We've been using Go Method to assess[br]all our volunteers for over two years now.

0:00:41.541,0:00:45.145
It's been a great tool to help us[br]have eyes on the vetting process

0:00:45.145,0:00:48.703
for people we send to work alongside[br]of our personnel and partners.

0:00:48.982,0:00:51.618
We have seen valuable results[br]with Go Method.

0:00:51.618,0:00:55.622
This tool has alerted us to individuals[br]that posed a risk to our children

0:00:55.622,0:00:57.208
and, in some cases adults,

0:00:57.208,0:00:59.901
and we were able[br]to prevent unnecessary risks

0:00:59.901,0:01:02.162
by having that vital information.

0:01:02.228,0:01:05.698
Also, as reported from the field[br]in workers and volunteers,

0:01:05.698,0:01:08.835
there has been great progress[br]in the streamlining of Go Method,

0:01:08.835,0:01:13.273
and our commitment is to continue[br]to make that tool even more user-friendly.

0:01:13.339,0:01:16.019
If you have questions[br]or need help using Go Method,

0:01:16.019,0:01:20.391
please continue to reach out[br]via email to info@msnpath.com.

0:01:20.847,0:01:24.622
And one update to Go Method[br]is that we are working on a better process

0:01:24.622,0:01:28.971
for vetting non-U.S. citizen[br]or non-English proficient volunteers.

0:01:29.255,0:01:32.642
This would cover those volunteers[br]who are unable to go through Go Method

0:01:32.642,0:01:34.930
due to not being able[br]to have a background check

0:01:34.930,0:01:37.147
or are not proficient in English,

0:01:37.147,0:01:40.484
making the process difficult[br]to read, respond, and understand.

0:01:40.767,0:01:42.221
We know this is a need,

0:01:42.221,0:01:46.172
so please be looking for information[br]on the Intranet and Connections+

0:01:46.172,0:01:49.142
regarding the process[br]we will use for those individuals.

0:01:49.142,0:01:54.567
Again, if you have questions on this[br]process, email info@msnpath.com.

0:01:55.181,0:01:58.337
Another incredible step[br]in raising the bar in prevention

0:01:58.337,0:02:00.453
is the desire from field personnel

0:02:00.453,0:02:04.498
to use our Safe and Secure training[br]to train nationals on child safety.

0:02:04.858,0:02:08.294
These individuals may not be direct[br]partners with our organization,

0:02:08.294,0:02:11.849
but individuals who work closely[br]with our personnel and platforms,

0:02:11.849,0:02:14.813
churches, and other work[br]or ministry functions.

0:02:15.048,0:02:16.897
Field personnel[br]are seeing the benefit

0:02:16.897,0:02:19.606
from having those individuals[br]trained in child safety.

0:02:19.606,0:02:22.175
And this may be a new concept[br]for the national.

0:02:22.175,0:02:25.778
We are working at making our Safe[br]and Secure volunteer training available

0:02:25.778,0:02:28.485
in several different languages[br]and unbranded

0:02:28.485,0:02:30.823
so that field personnel[br]can share the training

0:02:30.823,0:02:34.301
with those working closely[br]with them in work and ministries.

0:02:34.988,0:02:38.358
Child safety training is spreading,[br]and this is great news.

0:02:38.458,0:02:40.506
Education is key to prevention.

0:02:40.506,0:02:44.034
Having our trainings and[br]our vetting process have a further reach

0:02:44.034,0:02:46.140
can only strengthen[br]our opportunity

0:02:46.140,0:02:50.360
to provide a safe and secure environment[br]for our children and the ones we serve.

0:02:50.870,0:02:55.275
And another area that is fairly[br]new is the TCK Guidelines for Events.

0:02:55.375,0:02:57.366
Those can be found now[br]on the Intranet

0:02:57.366,0:03:00.567
by searching "TCK Meeting[br]and Event Guidelines."

0:03:00.813,0:03:03.816
The guidelines[br]map out practical prevention methods

0:03:03.816,0:03:07.896
to put into place when hosting a meeting,[br]training, or a TCK event.

0:03:08.221,0:03:12.659
They cover topics like proper supervision,[br]rooming guidelines, and more.

0:03:12.725,0:03:16.362
Please make sure that if you are planning[br]an event where TCKs will be present

0:03:16.362,0:03:18.064
that you refer to those guidelines

0:03:18.064,0:03:21.775
for ensuring you are preparing well[br]in the area of child safety.

0:03:22.302,0:03:23.918
The goal for these guidelines

0:03:23.918,0:03:27.373
is to reduce the opportunity[br]of risk of harm to our children.

0:03:27.373,0:03:28.755
If you have questions about

0:03:28.755,0:03:31.244
how to implement these guidelines[br]into your event,

0:03:31.244,0:03:34.581
first, contact your leadership[br]to talk through the questions you have.

0:03:34.681,0:03:37.449
And then, if you still need[br]help, contact me, the PARA.

0:03:38.184,0:03:41.921
Again, thank you for all that[br]you do to help keep our children safe.

0:03:42.021,0:03:45.489
I understand that using Go Method,[br]Safe and Secure training,

0:03:45.491,0:03:46.726
and the event guidelines

0:03:46.726,0:03:50.830
can add time and effort[br]to your already extremely busy schedules.

0:03:50.897,0:03:55.134
I also know that if we can prevent one[br]child from experiencing abuse

0:03:55.134,0:03:58.471
that could result in lifelong mental[br]and emotional effects,

0:03:58.471,0:04:00.931
the extra time and effort was worth it.

0:04:01.307,0:04:04.736
I truly appreciate your efforts,[br]and I'm always here to help you.
