The PGC workshop helps church volunteers engineer safe environments and programs for the community.  Attendees will learn about the process of drafting policies and procedures and establishing behavioral guidelines that will assist the local church in anticipating and finding the best possible answers for potentially challenging situations that may arise.

The Chaldean Diocese has specific standards that guide the decision-making process. During the workshop attendees will learn about the Chaldean Diocese’s commitment to openness in ministry activities.  Attendees will learn how to respect the rights of everyone concerned but must never compromise the safety of children and young people and include strategies and provisions for dealing with emergencies.
