Child Protection Plan Resources

Ministry Volunteer Code of Conduct NAD – YOUTH/CHILDREN’S

Children should never be left unattended. Provide appropriate adult supervision at all times for the children for whom you are responsible for.

Have at least one other Adult eighteen (18) years of age or older, to help with the supervision of children. If you find yourself in a situation where you are the only adult present, under no circumstances should you be alone with one child (the “two-person rule”). This protects the child as well as protecting the adult from possible allegations. VERY IMPORTANT!

Ask a child’s permission before physically touching him/her anywhere, even when responding to an injury or problem. This is especially true for any areas that would normally be covered by a T-shirt and/or shorts. If an injury is within this area., make sure another adult works with you as care is provided.

Discipline Refrain from physical and verbal attacks and corporal punishment which are inappropriate behaviors and should never be used as discipline.

Affirm children with appropriate touching by keeping hugs brief and “shoulder-to-shoulder” or “side-to-side.” Keep hands at (not below) the shoulder level. For small children who like to sit on laps, encourage to sit next to you.

Provide extra care when taking small children to the restroom. Take another adult along, or leave the door open.

Be Aware of conducting activities in rooms that do not have an interior viewing area, or leave the door open during the activity to allow easy observation by others.

Cooperate with the volunteer screening process and complete Shield the Vulnerable as required by your Conference.

Be aware of signs and symptoms of child abuse and aware of the legal requirements for reporting suspected cases of abuse. In addition to any legally required reporting.

Types of Child Abuse Emotional child abuse  Constant humiliating a child  Telling a child he/she is not good  Frequent yelling  Ignoring or rejecting a child

Child Neglect Child neglect – a very common type of child abuse – is a pattern of failing to provide for a child’s basic needs.

Physical child Abuse Involves physical harm or injury to the child. Sometimes can result from severe discipline. Such as physical punishment that is inappropriate to the child’s age or physical condition.

Signs of Sexual Abuse Child has trouble walking, sitting or sitting Bleeding, pain in genitals, anus or in the mouth. Displays knowledge or interest in sexual acts. Makes strong efforts to avoid a specific person.

If you become aware of any behavior by another individual which seems abusive or inappropriate towards children you are supervising, you need to report that behavior to the authorities. It is your duty to do so or you may be held liable. Call A-CHILD to find support and resources in your community.

Cooperate with church leadership by being a volunteer who is loving, kind, firm, and always a thoroughly professional person.

Working with children, youth and young adults is not only a privilege, it is also a serious responsibility that must be approached with utmost care.

Participate in orientation and training programs conducted by the church. Uphold the standards of the Seventh day Adventist church.
