Read the updated
Read the new Child and Vulnerable Adult Safety policy. |
Why are we doing this?
Because Reliant is committed to upholding the highest standards of behavior, we take great care in creating policies and procedures that support a healthy and ethical culture. These specific policies are in place to ensure the safety of those doing ministry as well as those being ministered to. We believe the updates to the policy on sexual harassment (now called Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Policy) and our new Child and Vulnerable Adult Safety policy are extremely important additions to achieve these goals. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with all the new elements. The policies can be found here: Workplace Harassment and Discrimination & Child and Vulnerable Adult Safety (Access Code: iamreliant ).
Which course do I take? And how long will it take?
...
- All employees must take the first Abuse Awareness Course, taking the second course is dependent on your supervisory or staff level:
- Abuse Awareness (length: 1.5 hours): Take this course if you're a Reliant employee or Associate.
- Skillful Screening (length: 2.25 hours): Take this course in addition to the Abuse Awareness course, if you supervise other Reliant staff OR are at a staff level of Pastor, Minister, Manager, or Director. If you are involved in interviews or the hiring process for staff or volunteers, this course is optional but recommended for you. Use your discernment or talk to your supervisor on if this course is right for you.

What's the deadline?
You'll begin receiving communication to your Reliant email address the week of June 8. And you will have until August 7, 2020 to complete the four steps listed in the yellow box above. We challenge you to complete these steps sooner, rather than later. It's at least four hours worth of work.
What if I can't complete it by August 7th?
You may send an exception request to Julie Thomas, HR Compliance Officer, at julie.thomas@reliant.org with your reason for the exception. Please copy your supervisor and Program Team Lead on the email.

title | Oops, I took the wrong Sexual Harassment training. What do I do? |
---|
If you are not a supervisor or leader and took the Manager-level course, that's okay. You don't need to take the Employee version as all the content in the Manager-level course is in the Employee-level one.
If you are a supervisor or leader and took the Employee-level training, you will need to take a few additional courses. See below for instructions on how to do that:
Return to the Telios site and launch the Manager-level training.
Many of the “chapters” are the same, with some additional content in the Manager Level. So when you start the Manager-level course, and you begin a chapter that was in the Employer Level, you can just click the “Complete and Continue” button at the bottom to advance to the next chapter.
Highlighted in blue below are the additional Manager-level chapters so that you can see the chapters that you need to still view. Just don’t forget to take the quiz at the end of the Manager-level course to get full credit!
Manager-level Content:
- Ch. 1 Do Religious Organizations Need to Worry?
- Ch. 2 Theology and the Secular Law
- Ch. 3 Risks to Religious Organizations
- Ch. 4 How Laws Apply to Religious Organizations
- Ch. 5 The Definition of Sexual Harassment
- Ch. 6 Organizational Policy & Procedure
- Ch. 7 Policies and Reporting Mechanisms
- Ch. 8 Investigation & Discipline
- Ch. 9 Processing Compliants & Safety Plans
- Ch. 10 Preparing for Investigation
- Ch. 11 Internal Investigation Process
- Ch. 12 Considerations When Dealing with Sexual Harassment

All Reliant Staff that attended New Staff Training (NST) as of May 2020 were required to complete the courses within 30 days of NST. If you attended NST since May 2020 and completed the course, you do not need to take them as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff. Some Reliant Staff that are part of the Fixed Term program completed the Abuse Awareness training when they were hired. If you are a resident or intern and completed that training since January 2020, you do not need to complete that course as part of the Annual Requirements for existing staff. You will still need to complete the Sexual Harassment Prevention course
