Safeguarding God's Children b d b d
Safeguarding God’s Children is a training program geared to preventing and responding to child sexual abuse in everyday life and ministry. It is designed for church leaders, clergy, parents, educators, daycare providers, and all those who work with children (recommended age 16 and older for training). These training programs are designed to help raise awareness for all of us. The training program is about 4.5 hours in length, and is designed for parents and congregations and for those involved in programs that have children or youth in them. For information about having a workshop in your church or community, call 307.265.5200.
The Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming is committed to providing a safe environment for all of God’s children in church, at home and in our daily lives. Safeguarding God’s Children helps provide you with these skills.

We are all responsible for providing a safe environment for God’s children.
Statistics show that in this country for children, that one in 4 females and one in 8 males will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen. These are frightening numbers, and they more than demonstrate a need to address this issue. In 2004, a new program was instituted by the Church Pension Group of the Episcopal Church in partnership with the Presidium Religious services of Dallas, Texas, to develop a new training program to help inform and train adults about these issues. In Wyoming, this training program has been certified by the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance through the Wyoming STARS (Statewide Training and Resource System) for areas of core knowledge for those persons working in the secular child care areas, such as day care centers and schools. FOR PARENTS AND CONGREGATIONS The first part of the training workshop is approximately 1.5 hours in length, and is designed to inform parents and congregations about the issues of child sexual abuse, and how they can stop that in their church’s and communities.
FOR MINISTRIES AND PROGRAMS The second part of the workshop training deals with the area of keeping programs safe and prevention of child sexual abuse. This part of the workshop is about 3.5 hours in length, and also talks about State of Wyoming reporting requirements, model policy as presented by the Nathan Network, and the policies of the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming.
