2025 Plan to Protect® Clergy Sexual Misconduct Training

$38.00

Over the last few decades, thousands of clergy sexual abuse cases have been reported in various religious communities around the world. Religious institutions have only recently begun to take accountability and pledge transparency when it comes to clergy sexual abuse. Clergy sexual abuse is a crime. Unfortunately, this crime continues to plague millions of churches worldwide as religious institutions fail to take the proper steps to prevent and respond to clergy sexual abuse. Thank you so much for joining us in addressing and combating clergy sexual misconduct and abuse.

This course does not replace the full Plan to Protect® Orientation or Refresher Training. However, it does address awareness of abuse within a church setting, how to address and prevent clergy sexual abuse and the role we should take in reporting and responding to this form of abuse.

This training contains the following modules:

Introduction
Abuse Awareness ~ We are going to begin the training by talking about Awareness when it comes to abuse. We will answer these questions - who needs protection? What is clery sexual abuse? And, how prevalent is abuse? As we discuss all of this, it will become increasingly clear that having a plan to protect and to prevent abuse from happening is so important.
Sexual Misconduct, Harassment and Abuse ~ This module focuses on the misuse of power differentials that lead to sexual misconduct, harassment and abuse and steps to take to mitigate this form of abuse.
Definitions of Abuse ~ As we conclude the training, we will unpack the definitions of the different forms of abuse.
Reporting Child Abuse ~ The duty to report child abuse is the most important of all the laws that relate to a child's protection. This duty to report applies to each one of us, whether we have a mandatory duty to report or an ethical duty to report abuse.
Responding to Vulnerable Adult Abuse ~ Unlike child abuse where we have a duty to report child abuse if an adult discloses they are being abused, we respond with care and empower them to exercise their own agency. This module equips the learner to respond appropriately when we learn of abuse against adults.
Conclusion

After each module you will be directed to the testing component of the training. This will include a short case study and quiz questions. You will need to complete the quiz with a score of 80% prior to moving onto the next module. Once you have successfully completed the course you will receive a certificate. A certificate will provide proof to your organization that you have successfully completed the course. This will also demonstrate that you understand the importance of vulnerable sector protection and abuse prevention.
