1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 - 2 00:00:02,961 --> 00:00:05,923 -Updates- 3 00:00:05,923 --> 00:00:09,542 Thanks for your participation so far in the Safe and Secure training. 4 00:00:09,776 --> 00:00:10,844 Before we conclude, 5 00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:15,048 I wanted to take a few moments to call out some very significant topics 6 00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:19,219 that pertain to our prevention strategies and give a few important updates. 7 00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:22,059 These areas are ones that are utilized frequently 8 00:00:22,059 --> 00:00:24,190 and where we often get the most questions. 9 00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:25,839 I'm thankful for the questions 10 00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:28,561 because that means we are working to put into practice 11 00:00:28,561 --> 00:00:32,085 prevention methods that can lower the risk of harm to our children. 12 00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:36,796 First, I want to call your attention to Go Method in our screening for volunteers. 13 00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:41,441 We've been using Go Method to assess all our volunteers for over two years now. 14 00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:45,145 It's been a great tool to help us have eyes on the vetting process 15 00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:48,703 for people we send to work alongside of our personnel and partners. 16 00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:51,618 We have seen valuable results with Go Method. 17 00:00:51,618 --> 00:00:55,622 This tool has alerted us to individuals that posed a risk to our children 18 00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:57,208 and, in some cases adults, 19 00:00:57,208 --> 00:00:59,901 and we were able to prevent unnecessary risks 20 00:00:59,901 --> 00:01:02,162 by having that vital information. 21 00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:05,698 Also, as reported from the field in workers and volunteers, 22 00:01:05,698 --> 00:01:08,835 there has been great progress in the streamlining of Go Method, 23 00:01:08,835 --> 00:01:13,273 and our commitment is to continue to make that tool even more user-friendly. 24 00:01:13,339 --> 00:01:16,019 If you have questions or need help using Go Method, 25 00:01:16,019 --> 00:01:20,391 please continue to reach out via email to info@msnpath.com. 26 00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:24,622 And one update to Go Method is that we are working on a better process 27 00:01:24,622 --> 00:01:28,971 for vetting non-U.S. citizen or non-English proficient volunteers. 28 00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:32,642 This would cover those volunteers who are unable to go through Go Method 29 00:01:32,642 --> 00:01:34,930 due to not being able to have a background check 30 00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:37,147 or are not proficient in English, 31 00:01:37,147 --> 00:01:40,484 making the process difficult to read, respond, and understand. 32 00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,221 We know this is a need, 33 00:01:42,221 --> 00:01:46,172 so please be looking for information on the Intranet and Connections+ 34 00:01:46,172 --> 00:01:49,142 regarding the process we will use for those individuals. 35 00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:54,567 Again, if you have questions on this process, email info@msnpath.com. 36 00:01:55,181 --> 00:01:58,337 Another incredible step in raising the bar in prevention 37 00:01:58,337 --> 00:02:00,453 is the desire from field personnel 38 00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:04,498 to use our Safe and Secure training to train nationals on child safety. 39 00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:08,294 These individuals may not be direct partners with our organization, 40 00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:11,849 but individuals who work closely with our personnel and platforms, 41 00:02:11,849 --> 00:02:14,813 churches, and other work or ministry functions. 42 00:02:15,048 --> 00:02:16,897 Field personnel are seeing the benefit 43 00:02:16,897 --> 00:02:19,606 from having those individuals trained in child safety. 44 00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:22,175 And this may be a new concept for the national. 45 00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:25,778 We are working at making our Safe and Secure volunteer training available 46 00:02:25,778 --> 00:02:28,485 in several different languages and unbranded 47 00:02:28,485 --> 00:02:30,823 so that field personnel can share the training 48 00:02:30,823 --> 00:02:34,301 with those working closely with them in work and ministries. 49 00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:38,358 Child safety training is spreading, and this is great news. 50 00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:40,506 Education is key to prevention. 51 00:02:40,506 --> 00:02:44,034 Having our trainings and our vetting process have a further reach 52 00:02:44,034 --> 00:02:46,140 can only strengthen our opportunity 53 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:50,360 to provide a safe and secure environment for our children and the ones we serve. 54 00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:55,275 And another area that is fairly new is the TCK Guidelines for Events. 55 00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:57,366 Those can be found now on the Intranet 56 00:02:57,366 --> 00:03:00,567 by searching "TCK Meeting and Event Guidelines." 57 00:03:00,813 --> 00:03:03,816 The guidelines map out practical prevention methods 58 00:03:03,816 --> 00:03:07,896 to put into place when hosting a meeting, training, or a TCK event. 59 00:03:08,221 --> 00:03:12,659 They cover topics like proper supervision, rooming guidelines, and more. 60 00:03:12,725 --> 00:03:16,362 Please make sure that if you are planning an event where TCKs will be present 61 00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:18,064 that you refer to those guidelines 62 00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:21,775 for ensuring you are preparing well in the area of child safety. 63 00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:23,918 The goal for these guidelines 64 00:03:23,918 --> 00:03:27,373 is to reduce the opportunity of risk of harm to our children. 65 00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:28,755 If you have questions about 66 00:03:28,755 --> 00:03:31,244 how to implement these guidelines into your event, 67 00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:34,581 first, contact your leadership to talk through the questions you have. 68 00:03:34,681 --> 00:03:37,449 And then, if you still need help, contact me, the PARA. 69 00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:41,921 Again, thank you for all that you do to help keep our children safe. 70 00:03:42,021 --> 00:03:45,489 I understand that using Go Method, Safe and Secure training, 71 00:03:45,491 --> 00:03:46,726 and the event guidelines 72 00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:50,830 can add time and effort to your already extremely busy schedules. 73 00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:55,134 I also know that if we can prevent one child from experiencing abuse 74 00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:58,471 that could result in lifelong mental and emotional effects, 75 00:03:58,471 --> 00:04:00,931 the extra time and effort was worth it. 76 00:04:01,307 --> 00:04:04,736 I truly appreciate your efforts, and I'm always here to help you.
