00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000
-

00:00:02.961 --> 00:00:05.923
-Updates-

00:00:05.923 --> 00:00:09.542
Thanks for your participation so far
in the Safe and Secure training.

00:00:09.776 --> 00:00:10.844
Before we conclude,

00:00:10.844 --> 00:00:15.048
I wanted to take a few moments
to call out some very significant topics

00:00:15.048 --> 00:00:19.219
that pertain to our prevention strategies
and give a few important updates.

00:00:19.319 --> 00:00:22.059
These areas are ones
that are utilized frequently

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:24.190
and where we often
get the most questions.

00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:25.839
I'm thankful for the questions

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.561
because that means we are working
to put into practice

00:00:28.561 --> 00:00:32.085
prevention methods that can lower
the risk of harm to our children.

00:00:32.565 --> 00:00:36.796
First, I want to call your attention to Go
Method in our screening for volunteers.

00:00:37.237 --> 00:00:41.441
We've been using Go Method to assess
all our volunteers for over two years now.

00:00:41.541 --> 00:00:45.145
It's been a great tool to help us
have eyes on the vetting process

00:00:45.145 --> 00:00:48.703
for people we send to work alongside
of our personnel and partners.

00:00:48.982 --> 00:00:51.618
We have seen valuable results
with Go Method.

00:00:51.618 --> 00:00:55.622
This tool has alerted us to individuals
that posed a risk to our children

00:00:55.622 --> 00:00:57.208
and, in some cases adults,

00:00:57.208 --> 00:00:59.901
and we were able
to prevent unnecessary risks

00:00:59.901 --> 00:01:02.162
by having that vital information.

00:01:02.228 --> 00:01:05.698
Also, as reported from the field
in workers and volunteers,

00:01:05.698 --> 00:01:08.835
there has been great progress
in the streamlining of Go Method,

00:01:08.835 --> 00:01:13.273
and our commitment is to continue
to make that tool even more user-friendly.

00:01:13.339 --> 00:01:16.019
If you have questions
or need help using Go Method,

00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:20.391
please continue to reach out
via email to info@msnpath.com.

00:01:20.847 --> 00:01:24.622
And one update to Go Method
is that we are working on a better process

00:01:24.622 --> 00:01:28.971
for vetting non-U.S. citizen
or non-English proficient volunteers.

00:01:29.255 --> 00:01:32.642
This would cover those volunteers
who are unable to go through Go Method

00:01:32.642 --> 00:01:34.930
due to not being able
to have a background check

00:01:34.930 --> 00:01:37.147
or are not proficient in English,

00:01:37.147 --> 00:01:40.484
making the process difficult
to read, respond, and understand.

00:01:40.767 --> 00:01:42.221
We know this is a need,

00:01:42.221 --> 00:01:46.172
so please be looking for information
on the Intranet and Connections+

00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:49.142
regarding the process
we will use for those individuals.

00:01:49.142 --> 00:01:54.567
Again, if you have questions on this
process, email info@msnpath.com.

00:01:55.181 --> 00:01:58.337
Another incredible step
in raising the bar in prevention

00:01:58.337 --> 00:02:00.453
is the desire from field personnel

00:02:00.453 --> 00:02:04.498
to use our Safe and Secure training
to train nationals on child safety.

00:02:04.858 --> 00:02:08.294
These individuals may not be direct
partners with our organization,

00:02:08.294 --> 00:02:11.849
but individuals who work closely
with our personnel and platforms,

00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:14.813
churches, and other work
or ministry functions.

00:02:15.048 --> 00:02:16.897
Field personnel
are seeing the benefit

00:02:16.897 --> 00:02:19.606
from having those individuals
trained in child safety.

00:02:19.606 --> 00:02:22.175
And this may be a new concept
for the national.

00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:25.778
We are working at making our Safe
and Secure volunteer training available

00:02:25.778 --> 00:02:28.485
in several different languages
and unbranded

00:02:28.485 --> 00:02:30.823
so that field personnel
can share the training

00:02:30.823 --> 00:02:34.301
with those working closely
with them in work and ministries.

00:02:34.988 --> 00:02:38.358
Child safety training is spreading,
and this is great news.

00:02:38.458 --> 00:02:40.506
Education is key to prevention.

00:02:40.506 --> 00:02:44.034
Having our trainings and
our vetting process have a further reach

00:02:44.034 --> 00:02:46.140
can only strengthen
our opportunity

00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:50.360
to provide a safe and secure environment
for our children and the ones we serve.

00:02:50.870 --> 00:02:55.275
And another area that is fairly
new is the TCK Guidelines for Events.

00:02:55.375 --> 00:02:57.366
Those can be found now
on the Intranet

00:02:57.366 --> 00:03:00.567
by searching "TCK Meeting
and Event Guidelines."

00:03:00.813 --> 00:03:03.816
The guidelines
map out practical prevention methods

00:03:03.816 --> 00:03:07.896
to put into place when hosting a meeting,
training, or a TCK event.

00:03:08.221 --> 00:03:12.659
They cover topics like proper supervision,
rooming guidelines, and more.

00:03:12.725 --> 00:03:16.362
Please make sure that if you are planning
an event where TCKs will be present

00:03:16.362 --> 00:03:18.064
that you refer to those guidelines

00:03:18.064 --> 00:03:21.775
for ensuring you are preparing well
in the area of child safety.

00:03:22.302 --> 00:03:23.918
The goal for these guidelines

00:03:23.918 --> 00:03:27.373
is to reduce the opportunity
of risk of harm to our children.

00:03:27.373 --> 00:03:28.755
If you have questions about

00:03:28.755 --> 00:03:31.244
how to implement these guidelines
into your event,

00:03:31.244 --> 00:03:34.581
first, contact your leadership
to talk through the questions you have.

00:03:34.681 --> 00:03:37.449
And then, if you still need
help, contact me, the PARA.

00:03:38.184 --> 00:03:41.921
Again, thank you for all that
you do to help keep our children safe.

00:03:42.021 --> 00:03:45.489
I understand that using Go Method,
Safe and Secure training,

00:03:45.491 --> 00:03:46.726
and the event guidelines

00:03:46.726 --> 00:03:50.830
can add time and effort
to your already extremely busy schedules.

00:03:50.897 --> 00:03:55.134
I also know that if we can prevent one
child from experiencing abuse

00:03:55.134 --> 00:03:58.471
that could result in lifelong mental
and emotional effects,

00:03:58.471 --> 00:04:00.931
the extra time and effort was worth it.

00:04:01.307 --> 00:04:04.736
I truly appreciate your efforts,
and I'm always here to help you.
